Round cairn in Mollen Wood, 640m east of Parkgate Bridge is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Cumberland. The cairn survives as a circular mound constructed of stone, characteristic of burial practices prevalent during the Bronze Age in northern England. Such monuments typically served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains and often functioned as focal points within the Bronze Age landscape. The site's survival within woodland has provided some protection to its archaeological structure, though like many upland cairns in the region it remains vulnerable to erosion and modern land use pressures.
