Round cairn on the southern slope of Dod Hill is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Northumberland, situated approximately 800 metres north-north-east of The Dod. The cairn takes the form of a roughly circular mound constructed of stone, characteristic of funerary monuments erected during the Bronze Age period. Such monuments typically served as markers for inhumation or cremation burials and often contained grave goods reflecting the status and practices of their interred individuals. The site's survival on the hillside slope preserves evidence of prehistoric burial practices and territorial organisation within this region of northern England.
