Round cairn on Parlick Pike is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated on the summit of Parlick Pike in the Forest of Bowland, Lancashire. The cairn consists of a mound of stones accumulated over a burial deposit, typical of Bronze Age ritual and commemorative practice in upland regions of northern England. Such monuments are characteristic of the period roughly 2200 to 700 BC, when cairn construction was a widespread funerary custom across Britain's higher ground. The site's hilltop location reflects the strategic placement of Bronze Age burial cairns on prominent landscape features, which served both practical and ceremonial functions within contemporary communities.
