Long cairn 360m south west of Dour Hill is a Neolithic burial monument located in Northumberland, England. The site represents the characteristic funerary architecture of the early farming communities that occupied northern Britain during the Neolithic period, approximately 4000 to 2500 BCE. Long cairns of this type typically served as communal burial structures, their elongated mounds constructed from stone to cover and contain the remains of multiple individuals. The monument's survival, documented in the heritage record under NHLE list entry 1009379, contributes to understanding the distribution and development of Neolithic mortuary practices across the northern English landscape.
