A probable denuded round cairn found during field investigation at NU 00551562. It is 15m in diameter, 0.4m high, and is bisected by the remains of a dry-stone wall. (1)

Condition unchanged. Surveyed at 1/2500. (2)

A much denuded turf-covered low flat stony mound measuring about 15m north-south by 12m east-west maximum height 0.5m.
Emanating from the north-east quadrant is a low stony bank which runs for about 7m in an easterly direction; a similar (?field) bank joins the south-east quadrant.
To the north is a small circular turf covered stony mound about 3m in diameter, height 0.4m which could be a field clearance heap. Sixteen metres west along the wall that bisects the mound are the remains of a rectangular enclosure which abutts the north side of the wall.
The whole probably represents a complex of medieval enclosures and stone clearance, although the possibility of the larger cairn being sepulchral cannot be overlooked. (3)

The cairn stands on a natural knoll with a commanding view across to Ingram and the mouth of the Breamish valley to the east. Excavation of this cairn, between 1994 and 1996, revealed a horseshoe-shaped setting of stones containing a hearth, or firepit. The fire pit was dated to c.500AD by radiocarbon dating. A low platform of cracked and weathered stones lay to the north of the hearth. Two cists were found in the western part of the cairn in a large pit and contained a piece of flint tool, flint debitage, an iron spear tip and fragments of burnt bone. Another burial feature was discovered south west of the cists and comprised a circular arrangement of boulders around a small pit. Inside the pit was an Early Bronze Age food vessel and an unusual crescent-shaped piece of flint. Excavations in 1996 showed that the largest cist was the primary burial and that it did not originally have any cairn material placed on it. The three-legged wall (or tri-radial cairn) was built on top upcast from the central pit and is associated with mortuary activity at the site. (4)(5)(6)

At NU 0056 1562, on a prominent hill summit is a flat-topped burial cairn 15.0 m N-S by 14.0 m transversely and 0.5 m high; about one third of it is bare rubble, and the remainder is turf-covered. A low mound of stones extends from the cairn eastwards for 7.0 m; its function is unknown. Around the N arc are two, possibly three, kerb stones up to 0.4 m high. Some 6.0 m to the S is an upright boulder, 1.0 m high, 0.7 m wide and 0.6 m thick. Packing stones are visible at the base of the boulder where stock have trampled the earth. No other similar stones occur around the cairn, and the two may be unassociated. The tumbled remains of a rubble wall [NU 0015/30], Considered to be a medieval head dyke, ride over the cairn from E to W. Four small cairns [NU 0015/62] lie to the N of this cairn and are probably clearance cairns associated with one or possibly two ring-ditch houses nearby NU 0015/57 and 58]. (7)(9a)

A possible Bronze Age burial cairn, centred at NU 0056 1562, is visible as an earthwork on air photographs. It measures 14m in diameter and is bisected north-east/south-west by a dry stone wall. (7)
