Round cairn north of Four Stones Hill is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland, in the Lake District region of northern England. The cairn consists of a roughly circular mound of stones, characteristic of burial monuments constructed during the prehistoric period when such structures served as communal or individual grave markers across upland areas. Its precise dating and original extent are difficult to establish without excavation, though its form is consistent with cairn monuments built between approximately 3000 and 1500 BCE. The monument survives as an important archaeological record of prehistoric burial practice in the Westmorland uplands and contributes to understanding of settlement and land use in this region during the Neolithic and Bronze Age periods.
