Standing stone and adjacent round cairn, 760m north east of East Shaftoe Hall, is a prehistoric funerary monument situated in the uplands of Northumberland. The site comprises an upright stone slab positioned adjacent to a substantial round cairn, indicative of Bronze Age burial practices when such monuments were commonly constructed across northern England. The standing stone and cairn together represent a significant example of the ritual and commemorative traditions observed during the Bronze Age, with the upright stone possibly serving as a marker or stone circle component associated with the burial mound. The monument's location in Northumberland's moorland landscape preserves evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns and ceremonial practices characteristic of the second millennium BC.
