Round cairn, 720m WNW of Ray Cottages, is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Northumberland. The cairn represents a characteristic burial structure of the second millennium BC, constructed from stone to mark and cover an inhumed or cremated burial. Such round cairns are among the most common upstanding prehistoric monuments in northern England and typically stand between one and three metres in height, though erosion and antiquarian disturbance have often reduced them significantly. The site's survival into the modern period contributes to archaeological understanding of Bronze Age funerary practices and settlement patterns across the Northumberland landscape.
