Southern round cairn on north end of The Tongue, Troutbeck Park is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, in the English Lake District. The cairn is a circular mound constructed from stones, consistent with funerary practices of the Bronze Age period when such monuments were erected across the upland regions of northern England. The site forms part of a wider landscape of prehistoric burial activity in the Troutbeck valley, an area rich in archaeological remains from the second millennium BCE. Such round cairns typically contained cremated remains and grave goods, though the specific contents and current state of preservation of this particular example would require specialist archaeological assessment.
