Cairns in Cumbria, England
58 sites recorded, with photos, maps and visitor reports
18,000 years ago Cumbria was covered in a deep blanket of ice. This ice sheet scoured the country of all pre-existing life. When the ice eventually retreated, a rich forest of deciduous trees took its place - a thick dense wood which climbed much higher up the slopes of the Cumbrian mountains than the trees grow today. The hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic period gradually came north into this wilderness.
A mound of stones, often but not always covering a burial site. See the separate categories for Round Cairn, Ring Cairn and Clava Cairn. This category includes long cairns and other miscellaneous cairns.
