Dewley Hill round barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located approximately 350 metres north-west of Dewley Farm in Northumberland, England. The monument consists of a substantial earthwork typical of Bronze Age funerary practice, formed as a raised circular mound that would have contained inhumation or cremation burials within its structure. The barrow is situated in an upland landscape characteristic of Northumberland's prehistoric settlement patterns, where such monuments often cluster in groups reflecting the territorial organisation of Bronze Age communities. As a protected heritage monument, Dewley Hill round barrow contributes important archaeological evidence to understanding Bronze Age burial customs and social hierarchy in north-eastern England.
