Muiredge, cairn 1050m W of is a Bronze Age cairn situated in Renfrewshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a stone mound characteristic of funerary practices during the Bronze Age period, when such cairns served as burial structures for individuals of presumed social significance. The site's location in the lowlands of Renfrewshire reflects the distribution of Bronze Age ceremonial and burial monuments across southern Scotland. Like other cairns of this era, the structure would have involved the deliberate piling of stone to mark and commemorate the dead, though the specific details of its construction and any internal features remain dependent on archaeological investigation records.
