Greens Moor is a Neolithic long cairn and associated field system located northwest of Kersewell Mains in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site comprises a substantial cairn of Neolithic date alongside a broader landscape of prehistoric field divisions, reflecting the combined monumental and agrarian activities of early farming communities in the region. Long cairns of this period typically served as communal burial monuments, constructed over extended periods and often containing multiple internal chambers or compartments for successive interments. The field systems associated with the cairn demonstrate the integration of ritual and domestic land use within the Neolithic landscape of south-central Scotland.
