Abstract: A small cairn was discovered during fieldwork on Birkside Fell in the North Pennines. The physical characteristics of the monument, as revealed by excavation, suggest that it should be classified as a ring cairn. Two cremations were found within a single collared urn. Radiocarbon dates place the burial within the earlier part of the second millennium BC. The results of the excavation are discussed within the wider context of similar sites in the region.
