Hart Heugh round cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located on the summit of Hart Heugh in Northumberland, approximately 780 metres south-west of Earlehillhead. The cairn consists of a circular mound of stones constructed during the Bronze Age, when such monuments served as burial sites for individuals of the community. Its position on the high ground reflects the deliberate placement of these cairns in prominent topographical locations, which was characteristic Bronze Age burial practice across northern Britain. The monument survives as a scheduled ancient monument and remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age funerary customs and settlement patterns in Northumberland.
