Knock Hill cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, approximately 605 metres west-southwest of St John's Well. The cairn represents a burial structure typical of the Bronze Age period, when such stone-built monuments were constructed across Scotland to mark the graves of individuals or communities. The site is recorded within the Historic Environment Record under the designation SM11666. Like many cairns of this period, it would have originally comprised a substantial mound of stone constructed over a burial deposit, though its present physical condition and any surviving structural details would require archaeological survey to establish with precision.
