Selside Pike round cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Westmorland, in the Lake District region of north-west England. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed as a burial site, typical of Bronze Age mortuary practice in the upland areas of northern England during the second millennium BCE. The monument survives as a substantial earthwork on the fell, preserving evidence of prehistoric ritual activity and settlement patterns in this landscape. As a designated heritage asset, the site remains archaeologically significant for understanding Bronze Age communities and their use of upland terrain in the North West.
