Windrigg Hill round cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Westmorland, approximately 440 metres south of High Murber. The cairn comprises a circular mound of stones typical of prehistoric burial structures from this period, constructed to mark and contain interred remains. Such monuments are characteristic of upland burial practices in northern England during the Bronze Age, reflecting the ceremonial and social importance placed on the deceased within contemporary communities. The site's location on elevated terrain is consistent with the placement of similar cairns across the Westmorland landscape, where they served as enduring markers within the ritual and settlement geography of ancient populations.
