Round cairn on White Raise is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland, in the English Lake District. The cairn is constructed from stone gathered and piled to form a circular mound, a burial practice characteristic of the Bronze Age period when such structures served as communal or individual sepulchres across northern Britain. The monument survives as a recognisable earthwork on the upland landscape, forming part of the Bronze Age archaeological record of the region. Such cairns remain significant indicators of prehistoric settlement patterns and burial customs in the fell country of northwest England.
