Round cairn 680m ENE of Dalefoot is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland in the Lake District region of northern England. The site comprises a circular cairn constructed from stone, typical of funerary practices in the Bronze Age when such mounded structures served as prominent markers for the interment of the dead. As a scheduled monument and entry on the National Heritage List for England, it represents an important survival of prehistoric funerary architecture within the upland landscape of the region. The cairn's survival, despite the agricultural and pastoral use of the surrounding terrain over subsequent millennia, provides archaeological evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs in the north-western uplands.
