Tiompan,
A number of summit cairns, and many lower cairns in Cumbria have been recorded as having burials, and others are simply recorded as "Bronze Age".
The ADS website is the best site to look at for details. It gives grid references and details of the type of site etc. That website is invaluable to anyone interested in the more esoteric antiquarian sites in Cumbria. I can't speak for other areas of the country, but I'm sure it's just as useful.

Thanks , but I had a job finding the relevant stuff on ADS , could you give me a url for summit burial over say 600m or thereabouts please .

Having looked at the ADS website again, I've noticed that the word "burial" isn't used. They just use the word "cairn". I have read that a lot of these are regarded as burial cairns, although most haven't been excavated. Here's a link to one:-
