The Excavation of Cairns at Blawearie, Old Bewick, Northumberland
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 February 2014
Abstract
Blawearie Cairn was first excavated by Canon William Greenwell in 1865. His findings indicated that the cairn was a cist cemetery of the Early Bronze Age. Recent excavation has demonstrated that the cairn was originally a kerb circle and that funerary rites were not necessarily its prime function.
