Two round cairns in Mollen Wood, 660m east of Parkgate Bridge, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Cumberland, England. The site consists of two distinct circular stone cairns, characteristic of burial monuments constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as communal or individual sepulchres across the British landscape. The cairns' survival in Mollen Wood demonstrates the persistence of these prehistoric funerary markers in upland areas, where later land use has been less intensive than in lowland zones. As a scheduled ancient monument, the site remains significant for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary practices in the north of England.
