Lawers Burn is a complex of prehistoric and early historic monuments in Perthshire, Scotland, comprising peat stores, hut sites, trackways, and cup-marked stones. The cup-marked stones represent ritual or territorial markers typical of Bronze Age activity, whilst the associated structural remains and pathways indicate sustained settlement and resource management across multiple periods. The peat stores suggest deliberate exploitation of moorland resources, possibly for fuel or building material, demonstrating the economic strategies of upland communities. The site's position in the Perthshire landscape reflects the broader pattern of prehistoric settlement and land-use practices characteristic of Scotland's Bronze Age and Iron Age periods.
