The cairn situated approximately 110 metres west-north-west of Middle Bridge of Cree in Wigtownshire is a prehistoric burial monument dating to the Bronze Age. The monument consists of a mound of stones constructed as a communal or individual burial structure, typical of the funerary practices evident across southwestern Scotland during the second millennium BC. Its survival in the landscape, documented under Historic Environment Scotland designation SM1943, provides evidence of prehistoric settlement and mortuary customs in the Cree valley region. Such cairns represent an important archaeological resource for understanding the material culture and social organisation of Bronze Age communities in Dumfries and Galloway.
