Round cairn on High Raise is a Bronze Age burial monument situated on the fell landscape of Westmorland in northern England. The cairn consists of a roughly circular mound of stones accumulated over a central burial deposit, a form of funerary architecture characteristic of the second millennium before Christ. The monument survives as a prominent landscape feature on the high ground, contributing to the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practices in the Pennine uplands. Such cairns typically contained inhumed or cremated remains, though the specific contents and condition of this example would require archaeological examination to establish with certainty.
