Cairn Kinna is a Bronze Age funerary monument consisting of two cairns located 960 metres east-south-east of Corrafeckloch in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. The site represents a form of burial practice characteristic of the Bronze Age period in southwest Scotland, when communal and individual interment beneath stone cairns was customary. The exact dimensions and preservation state of the two cairns are documented in the Historic Environment Scotland record, though the site has experienced some degradation typical of upland cairn monuments over subsequent millennia. This monument forms part of the wider Bronze Age funerary landscape of the region and contributes to understanding settlement and burial patterns in prehistoric Dumfries and Galloway.
