Hare Cairn is a Bronze Age burial monument situated approximately 600 metres west of Keir in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The cairn represents a form of funerary architecture characteristic of the Bronze Age period in north-east Scotland, when such stone-built mounds served as markers for the burial of the dead and repositories for grave goods. The monument is recorded within the Historic Environment Scotland national record under the designation SM3277, reflecting its recognition as a scheduled monument of archaeological importance. As with many cairns of this region and period, the structure would have originally been more substantial than its present condition, having been subject to degradation and robbing over successive centuries.
