Kippenross House burial mound is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 400 metres north-northwest of Kippenross House itself. The mound represents a form of burial practice widespread across Bronze Age Britain and Ireland, where earthen or stone-built tumuli were constructed to mark high-status graves and serve as permanent memorials within the landscape.
The monument sits upon bedrock of the Arbuthnott-Garvock Group, Pragian in age, which comprises sandstone with subordinate conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone. This underlying geology would have influenced both the construction method and the availability of stone for any cairn element incorporated within the mound. The local stone sources thus shaped how this burial was physically constructed and how it has survived into the present day.
The site is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM4502, recognising its archaeological significance and the information it retains about Bronze Age burial practices and social structures in Perthshire. Such monuments, often found in groups across the Scottish landscape, provide evidence for patterns of settlement, land use and ritual observance in prehistoric communities.
