Round cairn north of Four Stones Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland. The site consists of a roughly circular mound constructed from stones, characteristic of cairn burials erected during the second millennium BCE. Such monuments typically contained inhumation or cremation burials, often accompanied by grave goods, though the specific contents of this particular cairn are not well documented in the accessible record. The cairn's survival in the upland landscape of Westmorland represents an important example of the funerary practices and territorial organisation of Bronze Age communities in the north-western English Lake District region.
