Drumwhirn is a Bronze Age cairn located north of Boreland in Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a roughly circular mound of stones characteristic of funerary monuments from the Bronze Age period, which would date its construction to sometime within the second millennium before the common era. Such cairns typically served as burial markers for individuals of status within prehistoric communities, though the specific contents and construction details of this particular example require archaeological investigation to establish with certainty. The site is recorded within the Scottish heritage database under the reference SM1021 and remains an important element of the Bronze Age archaeological landscape of south-western Scotland.
