Skeo of Gossaford is a cairn located approximately four hundred metres west of Busta in Shetland, Scotland. The monument is a prehistoric burial cairn of Bronze Age date, consistent with the wider pattern of funerary monuments found throughout the Shetland Islands during this period. The site forms part of the archaeological heritage of north Shetland and contributes to the understanding of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practice in the Northern Isles. The cairn survives as a substantial stone monument, though like many such structures in Shetland it has been subject to degradation and disturbance over the millennia since its construction.
