Bedshiel Cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 950 metres north-north-east of Bedshiel in Berwickshire, Scottish Borders. The cairn consists of a mound of stone constructed during the Bronze Age period, typical of burial practices in prehistoric Scotland when such monuments served as territorial markers and repositories for the deceased. The site's upland location reflects the settlement and land-use patterns of Bronze Age communities in the Borders region.
