Round cairn, 450m SSE of Swinburne Castle, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Northumberland. The cairn survives as a circular mound of stones and represents a form of burial practice characteristic of the Bronze Age period in northern England. Such round cairns typically functioned as burial markers and ceremonial centres for local communities, often containing inhumed or cremated remains within a central chamber or pit. The monument's proximity to Swinburne Castle, a later medieval fortified residence, illustrates the long continuity of settlement and use within this landscape.
