Beacon and enclosure, 175m east of Mootlaw is a prehistoric monument complex located in Northumberland. The site comprises a beacon or cairn associated with an adjacent enclosure, both of which date to the Bronze Age period. The beacon element consists of a constructed mound, whilst the enclosure represents a defended or demarcated settlement area characteristic of Bronze Age land use patterns in northern England. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and forms part of the broader archaeological landscape of the Northumberland uplands, contributing to understanding of prehistoric settlement and territorial organisation in the region.
