Todlaw Pike is a complex of Bronze Age and later prehistoric monuments located in Northumberland. The site comprises a round cairn cemetery with multiple burial cairns, associated field systems, and evidence of unenclosed settlement occupation spanning several periods. The monuments are characteristic of the upland archaeology of northern Britain, representing patterns of habitation, agriculture, and mortuary practice from the Bronze Age through to the medieval period, with shielings indicating later transhumance pastoral activity. The survival of these features in proximity provides valuable evidence for understanding long-term land use and settlement patterns in the Northumberland uplands.
