Summary edit

Description
English: The Three Kings, Redesdale Forest This is the site of a Bronze Age burial which took place about 3,500 years ago. The person who died was cremated and their remains placed in a small stone-lined grave in the middle of the site.

He must have been of some importance because the burial is marked by four enormous standing stones. One of the stones fell down many years ago and the site became known as "The Three Kings". The largest stone weights 2.5 tons.

The Forestry Commission have constructed a forest walk to the site from the Blakeburnhopehaugh car park NT7800.
