Round cairn, 230m south of Netherwitton Hall, is a prehistoric burial monument located in Northumberland. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and comprises a circular mound of stones constructed over an inhumed burial, representing a widespread funerary practice across northern Britain during the second millennium BCE. The monument survives as an upstanding earthwork and stone feature within the landscape, though like many cairns of this period its original dimensions and internal structure may have been substantially altered by antiquarian investigation or agricultural activity. Such monuments served as durable territorial markers and repositories for the dead, reflecting the ceremonial and social values of Bronze Age communities in the region.
