Two round cairns 590m and 610m east of Burn Brae is a pair of Bronze Age funerary monuments located in Northumberland. The cairns, situated in open moorland east of the settlement of Burn Brae, represent typical examples of the round cairn tradition that characterised burial practices during the Bronze Age period. These earthen and stone mounds served as burial monuments, with their siting on elevated terrain reflecting the prominent placement characteristic of prehistoric funerary architecture in northern Britain. The monuments survive as upstanding features in the landscape and remain significant as evidence of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practice in this region of Northumberland.
