Round cairn on High Raise is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the fells of Westmorland in the English Lake District. The cairn is a stone mound constructed in the characteristic style of Bronze Age burial practices, serving as a marker for cremated remains or inhumations of individuals of probable ceremonial or social significance. Its position on the high ground of the fell reflects typical Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns in upland regions, where such monuments were frequently positioned to be visible across the landscape. The site remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age mortuary practice and land use in the North West of England.
