Simonside Cairn is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Northumberland, situated approximately 670 metres west-north-west of Old Stell Crag. The cairn represents a characteristic example of upland funerary practice during the Bronze Age period, when such stone burial structures were erected across the moorland regions of northern England. The monument survives as a mound of stone, consistent with cairn construction techniques of this era, and its preservation on the Simonside moorland reflects the archaeological importance of this landscape for understanding Bronze Age settlement and burial patterns in Northumberland.
