Round cairn 690m south-east of Gaythorne Cottages is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland, England. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a burial structure, typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in northern England during the second millennium BCE. Such monuments served as enduring markers of burial sites and often contained cremated or inhumed remains, sometimes accompanied by grave goods. The site's survival in the upland landscape of Westmorland reflects the distribution of Bronze Age burial cairns across the Pennine region.
