One of three Bronze Age cairns that sit on top of Cartington Hill near Rothbury in Northumberland. The cairns sit close together in a North/South alignment across the hill. Although the surfaces of the cairns have been disturbed, and partly robbed in some cases, they are all well-preserved and largely intact. The remains of a stone cist are visible in one of the cairns. These are Scheduled Monuments protected by law.
