A Bronze Age Round Cairn found in the central reservation between Steel Fell and Helvellyn.
Pastscape description: "A Bronze Age round cairn built of stones on a stone-built platform measuring up to 18.5 metres in diameter. Local legend describes the cairn as representing the grave of Dunmail, the last king of Cumbria in the Early Medieval period. 19th century road workings heavily disturbed the cairn, however it has since been restored to what is thought to be its original form and position."
