Bastle and round cairn at Hole Farm is a Neolithic or Bronze Age burial monument located in Northumberland, England. The site comprises a round cairn, a characteristic form of ritual and funerary architecture from prehistory, which would have functioned as a burial structure or ceremonial focal point for the local community. The presence of the bastle, a fortified farmhouse structure typical of the Anglo-Scottish border region from the medieval period onwards, indicates that the site experienced significant activity and settlement in later periods. The combination of prehistoric and early modern structures at the location demonstrates the extended chronological depth of human activity and the reuse of ancient burial sites as settlement locations across different historical periods.
