Round cairn on Burn Banks is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, England. The site consists of a circular mound constructed from stone, characteristic of cairn burials constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as repositories for the cremated or inhumed remains of the dead. The monument's survival to the present day, despite centuries of potential disturbance and agricultural activity, demonstrates the robustness of its construction and its significance as a lasting memorial to Bronze Age communities in the upland regions of northern England. The cairn represents an important archaeological resource for understanding burial practices and settlement patterns in prehistoric Westmorland.
