White Lyne round cairn is a prehistoric burial monument situated in Cumberland near the confluence of the Gate Grain and White Lyne watercourses. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and represents a form of funerary architecture characteristic of upland pastoral communities in northern Britain during the second millennium BC. The monument consists of a circular mound of stones constructed over a burial deposit, a common burial practice of its era. Round cairns of this type are significant archaeological features that provide evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns, social organisation, and ritual practices across the Pennine region.
