Ellsnook round barrow is a Bronze Age burial mound located in Northumberland, approximately 175 metres north-east of Heiferlaw Bridge. The monument survives as a substantially intact earthwork, characteristic of the round barrow tradition that flourished during the Bronze Age across northern England. Such barrows typically served as burial monuments for individuals of status within their communities, and their distribution across the Northumberland landscape reflects the settlement patterns and social organisation of Bronze Age populations. The site remains an important archaeological record of funerary practice and territorial use during the second millennium before the present.
