Edenwood Farm burial mound is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Fife, Scotland, 120 metres north-east of Edenwood Farm itself. The mound sits upon bedrock of the Stratheden Group, a formation of interbedded sandstone and conglomerate laid down during the Late Devonian period, which provides a natural foundation of mixed geology typical of the Fife landscape.
As a burial mound, the monument represents the burial practices of Bronze Age communities in eastern Scotland, a period when such earthworks served as prominent focal points within the landscape, visible markers of significant kinship groups and their territories. The survival of this mound reflects the generally undisturbed character of rural Fife in antiquity, allowing the accumulated soil and stone to persist through subsequent millennia.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM4761, recognising its archaeological significance and the information it retains about Bronze Age funeral rites and settlement patterns in the region. Its position within the Fife countryside contributes to the broader archaeological record of burial practices across eastern Scotland during the Bronze Age.
