Crigdon Hill round cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Northumberland, England. The cairn survives as a substantial earthwork consisting of a mound of stones and earth, characteristic of the burial practices of the Bronze Age period, approximately 2000 to 700 BCE. Round cairns of this type typically covered cremated or inhumed remains and often formed focal points within broader ceremonial landscapes. The site's preservation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and funerary customs in northern England.
