Round cairn on Birkrigg Common is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on moorland in Lancashire, approximately 600 metres north west of High Sunbrick Farm. The cairn comprises a circular mound of stone typical of Bronze Age burial practices in northern England, constructed during the second millennium BC. Such monuments served as burial markers and ritual centres for prehistoric communities, and their presence on Birkrigg Common reflects the pattern of Bronze Age settlement and land use across the Pennine uplands. The site remains a valuable record of funeral practices and territorial organisation during the Bronze Age period.
