Grunivoe, burnt mound 125m SSE of, is a prehistoric burnt mound located in Shetland, Scotland. Burnt mounds of this type are typically associated with Bronze Age activity, though their precise chronology and function remain subjects of scholarly debate. The monument consists of a mound formed primarily of fire-cracked stones and charcoal, material characteristic of these sites which suggests repeated episodes of heating stone and water, possibly for cooking or industrial processes. Such sites are distributed widely across northern Britain and are particularly numerous in Shetland, where their survival reflects both the preservation conditions of the islands and patterns of prehistoric settlement and resource exploitation.
