Long cairn on the south western slope of Dod Hill is a Neolithic burial monument situated approximately one kilometre north east of The Dod in Northumberland. The structure consists of an elongated mound of stone characteristic of long cairns, a funerary form prevalent in northern Britain during the early Neolithic period, roughly 4000 to 3000 BCE. Such monuments typically contained stone-built chambers and served as communal burial places for multiple individuals over an extended period. The cairn's location on the upland slopes reflects the settlement and ritual patterns of Neolithic communities in the Border region.
