Two Standing Stones and a Round Cairn south of Crooklands is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Westmorland, in the north-west of England. The site comprises a round cairn, a mound of stone constructed as a funerary monument, alongside two standing stones which may have served a ritual or commemorative function associated with the burial practice. The monument dates to the Bronze Age, a period when such cairn and standing stone complexes were commonly erected across upland regions of northern Britain. The survival of both the cairn and the paired stones at this location provides archaeological evidence of prehistoric funerary traditions and the landscape use of the Westmorland uplands during the second millennium before the Common Era.
