Round cairn, 140m SSW of Macartney's Cave is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Northumberland. The cairn consists of a mound of stones raised over a burial deposit, a common burial practice in northern Britain during the Bronze Age, roughly 2200 to 700 BCE. Such round cairns typically functioned as territorial markers and repositories for the dead, often containing cremated remains or inhumations accompanied by grave goods. The monument survives as a visible earthwork feature and forms part of the archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and ritual practice in the region.
