Law Cairn is a prehistoric burial monument situated approximately 300 metres north-east of West Craigmaud in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The site represents a cairn of Bronze Age date, consistent with the funerary practices of north-east Scotland during the second millennium BC. Such monuments typically served as communal or individual burial structures, often containing inhumations or cremations accompanied by grave goods. The cairn's survival in the landscape, despite later agricultural activity, attests to the enduring significance of these elevated burial sites in Bronze Age settlement patterns.
