What is recorded here

Cairn 1150m north-east of Cartington Castle is a scheduled monument in Northumberland, England. The designation protects the stones and soil, but it does not promise entry or explain whether the cairn marks a burial, a boundary or a forgotten prayer. Someone built the pile far enough from the castle to avoid its watchers, yet close enough to remain part of its world. That distance suggests the dead or the gods still belonged to the living, even when hidden from immediate view.

The National Heritage List for England records Cairn 1150m north-east of Cartington Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
