This enclosed cremation cemetery and shieling is a Bronze Age funerary and pastoral site located in Northumberland, approximately 990 metres north of Gibbs Hill Farm. The monument comprises both a cremation cemetery, indicating ritual burial practices typical of the Bronze Age period, and a shieling, a seasonal pastoral shelter used for herding livestock in upland areas. The enclosed character of the site suggests that the cemetery and associated structures were deliberately demarcated, reflecting the cultural and territorial significance of the location. As both a burial ground and working pastoral landscape feature, the site provides evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and the integration of funerary practice with pastoral land use in northern England.
