Round cairn on Dunmail Raise is a Bronze Age funerary monument located at high altitude on the ridge of Dunmail Raise in the Lake District, Cumberland. The cairn survives as a circular stone mound constructed from locally gathered stones, typical of burial cairns erected across northern Britain during the Bronze Age period. Its prominent position on this well-used mountain pass suggests the monument was designed to be visible across the landscape, serving both as a burial marker and a territorial or ritual focal point. The site remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practices and settlement patterns in the upland regions of north-western England.
