Burnt mound at Knott Well is a prehistoric archaeological monument situated approximately 370 metres north-east of Stotley Grange in Durham. The site consists of a mound composed primarily of fire-cracked stone and charred material, characteristics typical of burnt mounds which are found across Britain and Ireland and generally date to the Bronze Age, though their precise function remains subject to scholarly debate. Such monuments are commonly interpreted as the remains of cooking or heating installations, possibly associated with metalworking, textile production, or food preparation. The monument's survival as a discrete topographical feature makes it a valuable indicator of Bronze Age settlement and economic activity in the Durham landscape.
