Overview

History & significance

Cairn 435m NW of Larrick is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The site represents one of many burial cairns constructed during the Bronze Age across northeastern Scotland, a period when such stone-built structures served as repositories for the dead and functioned as prominent landmarks within the prehistoric landscape. The cairn's construction, typical of its period and region, would have involved the accumulation of stone to form a substantial mound, though its present condition and specific dimensions are documented in the Historic Environment Scotland records under designation SM12352. Such monuments are valuable archaeological resources for understanding Bronze Age mortuary practices, social organisation, and the use of space in ancient Aberdeenshire.
