Cairn 410m N of Pitscurry is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The cairn consists of a stone mound typical of prehistoric funerary architecture in northeast Scotland, constructed during the Bronze Age period when such monuments served as repositories for the dead. These cairns formed part of the wider landscape of Bronze Age burial practices across Aberdeenshire, where communities marked significant sites with substantial stone constructions. The monument survives as an archaeological feature of regional importance, contributing to our understanding of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ritual practices in the area.
