Montgoldrum cairn, located 750 metres east-north-east of Montgoldrum in Kincardineshire, is a prehistoric funerary monument dating to the Bronze Age. The cairn survives as a substantial mound of stone and earth, though its original dimensions and internal structure have been altered by later disturbance and quarrying activities common to cairns of this region. Such monuments typically served as burial sites for individuals of elevated social status within Bronze Age communities, and their distribution across the Kincardineshire landscape reflects patterns of settlement and territorial organisation during the second millennium before Christ. The site is protected as a scheduled monument under Scottish heritage legislation, recognising its archaeological importance as evidence of burial practices and social hierarchy in prehistoric northeastern Scotland.
