Two round cairns, 375m north-west of Uplaw Knowe is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Northumberland, England. The site comprises two distinct circular stone cairns typical of burial practices during the Bronze Age period, when such earthen and stone mounds served as prominent markers for the interment of individuals of social standing. The monuments form part of the broader landscape of Bronze Age ritual and mortuary activity evident across the upland regions of Northumberland, reflecting the settlement and burial patterns of communities in the second millennium BCE. Their survival as visible archaeological features contributes to understanding Bronze Age funerary customs and the territorial organisation of prehistoric Northumberland.
