The Ring is an enclosed cairn located 750 metres south-east of Arnbarrow in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular stone cairn surrounded by an enclosing wall or kerb, a form characteristic of Bronze Age funerary monuments in northeastern Scotland. Such enclosed cairns typically date from the second millennium BCE and served as burial structures, often containing cremated remains within stone-built chambers or cists. The site's survival as an upstanding archaeological feature contributes to understanding Bronze Age burial practice and settlement patterns in the Mearns region of Kincardineshire.
