The Carlisle Memorial Column is a 19th century monument located at the southern end of the Castle Howard Avenue on the edge of the Howardian Hills. Built to the memory of the 7th Earl of Carlisle after his death in 1864, the column was paid for by public subscription. Four architects submitted designs for the monument, including one by the Yorkshire-based architect Cuthbert Brodrick, but the design by Frederick Pepys Cockerell was chosen.

The monument consists of a central column, over seven feet in diameter and is hollow inside. The central column rests on a square platform with steps leading up on the north side. Around the square base of the column is an inscription to the 7th Earl. At each of the four corners of the platform is a pedestal surmounted with a knight's helmet, and the outer face of each pedestal bears a heraldic shield and sword with, alternately, the arms of the Howard family and the Royal Family, in recognition of the Earl's post of Viceroy of Ireland. The top is crowned by a tripod which supports an urn with flames fashioned from gilded copper. The entire structure is 120 feet high.
