Round cairn west of enclosure on Four Stones Hill is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Westmorland in the English Lake District region. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a burial tradition typical of the second millennium BC, when such stone-built mounds served as focal points for communal or elite interment practices. The monument consists of a circular accumulation of stones and sits in proximity to an associated enclosure, forming part of a broader landscape of prehistoric ritual and domestic activity on the fell. The site's survival as an upstanding earthwork provides evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary practices in the upland regions of northern England.
