The Bronze Age cairnfield and cup and ring marked stone 550 metres north west of Middleton Dean is a prehistoric monument complex located in Northumberland, England. The site comprises a cairnfield characteristic of Bronze Age funerary and ritual landscape use, alongside a stone bearing cup and ring carvings, rock art forms that typify Neolithic and Bronze Age ceremonial or territorial marking practices in northern Britain. The cup and ring markings represent part of the wider tradition of portable and in situ rock art found across upland regions of northern England during this period. Together, the monuments demonstrate the longstanding ritual significance of this upland locality from the Neolithic onwards and reflect patterns of Bronze Age settlement and land use in the region.
