Kinneil House, shell midden 350m W of, is a Mesolithic shell midden located in Linlithgowshire, Scotland, situated approximately 350 metres west of Kinneil House. The site represents evidence of early post-glacial human settlement and subsistence practices along the Forth estuary, with shellfish exploitation forming a significant component of the diet of hunter-gatherer communities. Shell middens of this period typically accumulate from the repeated discard of mollusc shells and other food refuse at favoured occupation sites, providing archaeological evidence of economic strategies and seasonal movement patterns during the Mesolithic period. The midden's location near Kinneil House, within an area of considerable archaeological significance, contributes to understanding patterns of prehistoric settlement in the Firth of Forth region.
