Green Hill is a Bronze Age cairn located in Fife, Scotland. The monument consists of a substantial mound of stones typical of burial cairns constructed during the later prehistoric period, likely dating to the second millennium BC. As with many cairns of this type in eastern Scotland, Green Hill would have functioned as a funerary monument, marking the burial of individuals of probable social significance within their Bronze Age community. The cairn remains an important archaeological record of mortuary practices and settlement patterns in Fife during the Bronze Age.
