White Lyne round cairn is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Cumberland, in the north-west of England, situated approximately 60 metres north-north-west of the confluence of Gate Grain and White Lyne. The monument consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of Neolithic or Bronze Age funerary practice, when such cairns and barrows served as communal or individual burial sites across the upland regions of northern Britain. The cairn's survival into the modern period, despite centuries of agricultural activity in the region, makes it a significant archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual practice in the borderland areas of Cumbria. Its designation as a heritage monument recognises its importance as physical evidence of early British burial traditions and landscape use.
