Eastmore is a barrow situated 390 metres north-north-east of the settlement of Eastmore in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The monument occupies ground underlain by sandstone and conglomerate of the Lanark Group, bedrock formed during the Early Devonian period. The barrow represents a burial monument of the prehistoric period, constructed to mark and contain the remains of the deceased and erected as a visible expression of community status and commemoration within the Bronze Age landscape.
The site lies within an area of considerable archaeological significance in Lanarkshire, where similar burial monuments are scattered across the moorland terrain. The underlying geology of interbedded sandstone and conglomerate would have influenced both the site's selection and the practical construction methods employed by its builders. The exposed character of the upland location offers extensive views across the surrounding countryside.
Eastmore barrow is designated and protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM13694, recognising its importance as a record of prehistoric burial practice and settlement patterns in south-central Scotland. Despite its age and exposure to the elements, the monument survives as evidence of the Bronze Age communities who inhabited this region.
