The cairn located approximately 500 metres south-east of Mill of Peattie is a prehistoric burial monument situated in Angus, Scotland. The monument represents the funerary practices of early Bronze Age communities in eastern Scotland, a period when such stone-built structures served as focal points for ritual deposition and commemoration of the dead. The cairn survives as a stone mound, typical of monuments from this era that were constructed by heaping stones over burials or cremated remains. Its continued presence in the landscape provides evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ceremonial activity in the Angus region, though the specific dimensions and archaeological history of this particular example are not extensively documented in the available scholarly record.
