Sourhope cairn, located approximately 1150 metres north-north-west of Sourhope in Roxburghshire, is a prehistoric burial monument dating to the Bronze Age. The cairn forms part of the wider archaeological landscape of the Scottish Borders, where such monuments are distributed across upland terrain and reflect patterns of early settlement and funerary practice. Like other cairns of its period, it would have served as a burial structure, accumulating stone to mark the interment of individuals or groups within the local community. The site's location on elevated ground is characteristic of Bronze Age cairn placement in this region, positioning it within a landscape that saw repeated use and occupation over successive prehistoric periods.
