Dundreich Cairn is a prehistoric burial monument located in Peeblesshire, Scottish Borders. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and comprises a substantial mound of stone constructed over a burial deposit, representing a form of funerary practice characteristic of the second millennium BCE in Scotland. Such cairns served as communal or individual burial sites and remain important archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns and ritual practices in prehistoric southern Scotland. The monument's survival into the present day contributes to the archaeological record of Peeblesshire's early prehistoric occupation.
