A group of four burnt mounds lies on a south east facing slope along a tributary of the Titlington Burn. They were constructed in the Early Bronze Age and had been abandoned by the end of this period. Two were excavated in the 1990s. Radiocarbon dates demonstrated that the sites had been in use between 3610+/-60BP and 3200+/-60BP. (1)

At NU 102 164, beside a sluggish stream flowing S in a shallow marshy valley is a group of four burnt mounds, overgrown with turf and bracken, which were discovered during fieldwork in 1991 by D Cowley (2b). They were surveyed at 1:500 and 1:2500 by RCHME in advance of excavations of 1992-3 by the Northumberland Archaeological Group, for which a full report is pending.
Numbered 1-4 from south to north, mound 1 measures about 15m NNW-SSE by 12m transversely; it is flat-topped, 1.9m high on the S downhill side but fades into the natural slope of the valley to the N. In the edge of the stream bordering the E side of the mound a mixture of burnt sandstone and brown earth is exposed; protruding through the turf mantle are several blocks of unburnt sandstone. Mound 2 on the NE edge of the stream is kidney-shaped with the re-entrant facing the stream, it measures 13m NNE-SSW by 9m transversely and is 1m high on the E (stream) side. Mound 3, on the opposite side of the stream lies partly in forestry, recently felled; the mound cannot be interpreted in the forest W of the fenceline, but in the E it is up to 1m high with a slight concavity facing the stream.
Mound 4, the best preserved, is sub-circular measuring 18m N-S by 15m E-W and up to 0.8m high. There is a shallow depression, 0.15m deep running across the summit from E-W.
In 1992-3, mound 2 was fully excavated, and mound 4 partially. (2a)
