Burnt mound, located approximately one kilometre north-east of Quarry House in Northumberland, is a prehistoric archaeological monument consisting of a mound of burnt stone and associated deposits. The site dates to the Bronze Age, when such features were typically created through repeated heating and quenching of stones, likely used in cooking or industrial processes such as metalworking. The burnt mound represents evidence of domestic or craft activity during the second millennium before Christ, and its preservation as an upstanding earthwork provides archaeological insight into Bronze Age settlement patterns and economic practices in northern England. The monument is protected as a scheduled ancient monument due to its archaeological significance and potential to yield further information about prehistoric land use in Northumberland.
