Standing stone and adjacent round cairn, 760m north east of East Shaftoe Hall, is a Bronze Age monument situated in Northumberland. The site comprises two distinct elements: an upright standing stone and an associated circular cairn of stone, both characteristic features of funerary and ceremonial landscapes dating to the Bronze Age period. Such monuments typically served ritual or commemorative functions within prehistoric communities, with cairns frequently marking burial sites whilst standing stones held religious or territorial significance. The proximity of these two features suggests they formed part of a unified ceremonial complex, representative of the monumental architecture constructed during the Bronze Age in northern England.
