Carsegownie Cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Angus, Scotland, situated approximately 400 metres south-east of Carsegownie itself. The cairn represents a typical example of the burial structures constructed during the Bronze Age, when such monuments served as communal or individual burial places across eastern Scotland. The precise dimensions and current condition of the monument reflect the typical stone-built construction methods of its period, though the site has been subject to the natural processes of degradation over more than three millennia. The cairn's location in the agricultural landscape of Angus places it within a notable concentration of prehistoric monuments in this region of eastern Scotland.
