Edinchip is a Neolithic chambered cairn located in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 650 metres south-southwest of the settlement at Edinchip. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents one of the funerary structures characteristic of early farming communities in Scotland during the fourth and third millennia before the present. As a chambered cairn, the site would have comprised a stone-built burial chamber set within a larger mound of stones, serving as a communal burial place for successive generations. The precise condition and architectural details of the surviving remains reflect the typical construction methods of Neolithic monument builders in the region, employing local stone to create both the internal chamber and the external cairn structure.
