Birk's Cairn is a Bronze Age cairn located on Birkscairn Hill in Selkirkshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a stone cairn typical of burial practices during the Bronze Age, when such structures served as communal or individual burial markers across the Scottish Borders region. The site is recorded in the Historic Environment Record under the reference SM2762. Like many cairns of this period in the Southern Uplands, it represents evidence of early agricultural communities and their funerary customs, though its specific dimensions and current condition would require consultation of archaeological survey records for precise details.
