Round cairn west of Windy Gyle is a prehistoric funerary monument located in Northumberland, situated approximately 680 metres west-north-west of Russell's Cairn on the high moorland terrain. The structure takes the form of a round cairn, a common Bronze Age burial form comprising a mound of stones constructed over cremated human remains or inhumations. Such monuments are characteristic of the earlier second millennium BC, representing a significant phase of ritual and burial practice in upland Britain. The cairn's location on exposed moorland, typical for Bronze Age funerary sites in the Pennine and Cheviot regions, reflects the landscape practices of its period and continues to form part of the important archaeological record of prehistoric Northumberland.
