Woodend is a prehistoric cairn located approximately 550 metres south-south-west of Woodend in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a stone cairn with a cross-incised stone, the latter suggesting possible later Bronze Age or Iron Age activity at the site, though the primary cairn structure likely dates to the Neolithic or Early Bronze Age period. The cross-incised stone represents a form of rock art that occurs sporadically across northern Britain and may indicate ritual or ceremonial use of the cairn during the later prehistoric period. The site's designation as a scheduled ancient monument reflects its archaeological significance as evidence of early settlement and burial practices in this region of northeast Scotland.
