Round cairn west of Windy Gyle, 680m WNW of Russell's Cairn is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Northumberland on the high moorland of the Pennines. The cairn survives as a roughly circular mound of stone, characteristic of prehistoric funerary practice in upland regions of northern England during the second millennium before the present era. Such monuments typically contained inhumation burials, often accompanied by grave goods reflecting the status and beliefs of Bronze Age communities. The site's location within a landscape that includes other contemporary cairn monuments suggests occupation and territorial use of these marginal upland areas during the Bronze Age period.
