Cairns on Knock Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Northumberland. The site comprises a collection of cairns, which are substantial mounds of stones constructed as funerary monuments during the Bronze Age period. Such cairn groups are characteristic of the Neolithic and Bronze Age ritual landscape of northern England, serving as burial markers for the dead and potentially functioning as territorial or ancestral markers across the landscape. The survival of multiple cairns at this location provides evidence of sustained use of the site across the Bronze Age period.
