Cairn group 330m south-east of Bellshiel Law is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Northumberland, England. The site consists of multiple cairns, characteristic of funerary practices during the Bronze Age period when such stone-built mounds served as repositories for cremated or inhumed remains. The cairns are distributed across the landscape in a manner typical of Bronze Age cemetery sites, reflecting the ritual and burial customs of prehistoric communities in northern Britain. Such monuments are significant for understanding settlement patterns, social organisation, and religious practices in Bronze Age Northumberland.
