Round cairn 630m ENE of Sunbiggin Farm is a prehistoric burial monument located in Westmorland, England. The cairn belongs to the Bronze Age period, when such earthen and stone mounds were constructed as communal or individual burial sites across northern Britain. The monument survives as a roughly circular mound of stone and earth, a characteristic form of barrow construction typical of upland regions in the Lake District and surrounding areas during the second millennium BC. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site remains of considerable archaeological value for understanding Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the North West of England.
