Bridgeton Hill is an ancient cairn located 900 metres east-north-east of Mains of Bridgeton in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The monument is a Bronze Age burial structure, representative of the funerary practices undertaken during the second millennium BCE in north-east Scotland. Like similar cairns in the region, it would have been constructed to mark a burial or cremation site and served as a territorial or dynastic marker on the landscape. The cairn's survival into the modern period makes it a valuable archaeological record of prehistoric settlement patterns and ritual activity in this part of Aberdeenshire.
