Knock Hill is a Bronze Age cairn located approximately 530 metres south-east of Corblelack in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a substantial mound of stone typical of burial cairns constructed during the Bronze Age period, when such structures served as repositories for the dead and functioned as significant territorial markers within the landscape. The site is recorded within the national heritage designation system under reference HES INSPIRE SM11679, reflecting its archaeological importance to the understanding of Bronze Age settlement and funerary practices in north-east Scotland. As with many cairns of this period in the region, the monument represents evidence of established communities and their ritual practices during the second and early first millennia before the common era.
