Fettercairn House burial mound is an ancient funerary monument located approximately 650 metres north-north-west of Fettercairn House in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The mound represents a form of Bronze Age burial practice, typical of the prehistoric period when such earthen monuments served as communal or individual sepulchral structures across Scotland. The site survives as an upstanding earthwork, though like many such monuments its precise dimensions and internal structure remain incompletely documented. As a recorded monument in the Aberdeenshire historic environment record, it contributes to understanding of Bronze Age funerary traditions and settlement patterns in the northeast of Scotland.
