Two round cairns 415m and 420m NNE of The Cockpit, Moor Divock is a Bronze Age monument consisting of two distinct burial mounds located on the moorland of Westmorland in the Lake District region. The cairns represent typical Bronze Age funerary practices, with their construction and placement suggesting use during the second millennium BC. These monuments form part of a wider landscape of prehistoric ritual and burial sites distributed across Moor Divock, which contains numerous archaeological features indicating sustained use of the area throughout prehistory. The cairns' survival as upstanding features demonstrates the preservation potential of such monuments on open moorland, making them valuable sources for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and burial customs in the upland regions of northern England.
