Rosebrough Moor round cairns are Bronze Age funerary monuments located in Northumberland. The site comprises a group of round cairns, which are characteristic burial structures of the Bronze Age period, typically constructed from stone gathered into mounds to mark graves and commemorate the dead. Such cairn cemeteries are significant archaeological features across the upland regions of northern England, providing evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices. The monuments' survival on the moor landscape reflects their location on marginal land that has experienced limited agricultural disturbance since their construction.
