Round cairn, 300m south east of Fiddlers Wood is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Northumberland. The structure consists of a roughly circular mound of stone, characteristic of cairn construction from the second millennium BC, and represents a burial practice common throughout prehistoric Britain during this period. Such monuments typically contained cremated or inhumed remains and occasionally grave goods, though the specific contents of this particular cairn are not documented in surviving records. The survival of this cairn demonstrates the persistence of Bronze Age funerary practices in the upland regions of northern England, where stone-built monuments were favoured over earthen barrows due to local geology.
