Woods of Cairnie is a Bronze Age burial monument consisting of two mounds situated in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, approximately 410 metres south and 400 metres south-south-west of Hatton. These earthen mounds represent funerary structures typical of the Bronze Age period, when such monuments served as burial places and often marked significant locations within the landscape. The survival of both mounds in the modern landscape provides evidence of prehistoric mortuary practices and the continuation of monumental building traditions in north-east Scotland during the Bronze Age.
