Stoneyhill cairn, located 195 metres west-south-west of Stoneyhill in Aberdeenshire, is a Bronze Age funerary monument. The cairn represents the burial practices characteristic of north-eastern Scotland during the Bronze Age period, when such stone-built mounds served as communal or individual depositories for the deceased. The monument comprises a mound of stone constructed over cremated human remains, typical of cairn construction methods employed across Scotland during the second millennium BCE. Like many comparable cairns in the region, it provides archaeological evidence of Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary customs in the farming communities of Aberdeenshire.
