Round cairn 75m north east of summit of Carling Knott is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cumberland, England. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a burial structure typical of the Bronze Age period, which in northern England spans roughly 2200 to 700 BCE. Such cairns served as communal or individual burial sites and remain important archaeological indicators of settlement patterns and ritual practices in prehistoric upland regions. The monument's position on the Carling Knott fell reflects the Bronze Age practice of locating burial cairns on prominent topographical features, enhancing their visibility within the landscape.
