Cairn on Barracker Rigg (Otterburn)
This Bronze Age cairn lies on land also occupied by later farmers. In particular, the cairn is surrounded by Iron Age cord rig, which forms part of a wider multi-period settlement. The cairn is probably a burial cairn and is part of a Scheduled Monument protected by law.
