Selside Pike round cairn is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, in the Lake District region of northern England. The cairn comprises a mound of stone constructed during the later prehistoric period as a funerary structure, typical of the barrow traditions that characterised Bronze Age burial practices across upland Britain. The site is situated in the distinctive fell landscape of the region, where such monuments are found in clusters reflecting patterns of settlement and land use in prehistory. As a recorded archaeological monument, it contributes to understanding of Bronze Age burial customs and the organisation of communities in the Pennine and Lake District uplands during the second millennium BCE.
