Devil's Lapful Neolithic cairn, Castle Hill (Kielder)
Between 4500 and 6000 years ago, during a period archaeologists call the Neolithic, people built this long cairn on the south west slopes of Castle Hill, for the burial of their dead. Since the long cairn was built, some stones have been removed. The Devil's Lapful Neolithic long cairn is a Scheduled Monument protected by law.
