Round cairn on Askham Fell, 335m north of the Cop Stone is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on the fells of Westmorland in the English Lake District region. The cairn comprises a roughly circular mound of stones typical of prehistoric funerary practices, constructed during the Bronze Age when such monuments were commonly raised to mark the graves of individuals or small family groups. Its location on the open fellside reflects the Bronze Age preference for prominent positions in the landscape, visible from considerable distances and serving both practical and ceremonial functions. The monument survives as a material witness to Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the upland regions of northern England.
