Felshun is a Neolithic chambered cairn situated approximately 600 metres west-south-west of the south-western point of the Loch of Stavaness in Shetland, Scotland. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents the funerary practices of early farming communities in the Northern Isles. As a chambered cairn, it would have functioned as a collective burial monument, with an internal stone-built chamber contained within a larger cairn structure of stacked stone.
