Round cairn 670m north-east of summit of Long Scar Pike is a Bronze Age burial monument located in the upland landscape of Westmorland. The site comprises a round cairn, a characteristic funerary structure of the Bronze Age period, constructed from stone cleared from the surrounding moorland. Such cairns typically contained inhumed or cremated remains and were often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and beliefs of prehistoric communities. The monument's position within the upland zone represents the utilisation of marginal terrain for burial practices during the Bronze Age, a pattern widespread across northern England's fell country.
