Round cairn on Hameldon Pasture is a Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary monument located on high moorland in Lancashire. The cairn consists of a roughly circular mound of stone rubble, characteristic of prehistoric burial structures built across the Pennine uplands during the later prehistoric period. Such monuments represent important evidence of early pastoral communities and their burial practices on marginal upland terrain. The site's moorland location reflects the settlement patterns and land use of ancient populations who exploited these elevated landscapes for grazing and resources.
