Simonside Cairn is a Bronze Age burial mound situated in the upland landscape of Northumberland, approximately 670 metres west-north-west of Old Stell Crag. The monument takes the form of a cairn, a mound constructed from stones rather than earth, typical of funerary practices in northern Britain during the Bronze Age period. Such cairns served as visible markers across the landscape and contained burials of individuals of apparent social significance within their communities. The site remains an important archaeological record of prehistoric burial custom and settlement pattern in the Northumberland uplands.
