Damside Stone Row is a Bronze Age alignment of standing stones situated in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 900 metres south-west of Damside. The monument consists of stones arranged in a linear pattern, a form of ceremonial or ritual monument characteristic of prehistoric Scotland. Stone rows of this period typically served functions connected to burial practices, territorial marking or astronomical observation, though their precise purpose remains uncertain.
The stones are set upon bedrock of the Arbuthnott-Garvock Group, Pragian in age, comprising sandstone with subordinate conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone. This mixed lithology would have provided a range of suitable stone for the monument's construction, with the local geology shaping both the character of the landscape and the materials available to its Bronze Age builders.
The site is protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland's reference SM7297, reflecting its significance as part of Scotland's prehistoric heritage. Stone rows remain among the most striking and enigmatic monuments of the Bronze Age, and their survival in the Perthshire landscape contributes to understanding of ritual and settlement patterns in early prehistoric Scotland.
