Cairn 610m east of Glitteringstone is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Northumberland, England. The cairn consists of a mound of stones constructed as a burial marker, typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in northern Britain. Such cairns served as enduring monuments to the dead and often contained cremated remains or inhumed burials within central graves or cists. The monument's survival into the modern period, despite its exposure on open moorland, attests to the substantial construction methods employed in its original building.
