Woodslee is a Bronze Age burial mound situated approximately 250 metres southwest of Woodslee in Dumfriesshire, Scotland. The monument represents a funerary structure typical of the Bronze Age period, when such earthen mounds were constructed to mark the resting places of the dead and serve as enduring territorial markers within the landscape. The mound survives as a substantial earthwork, though like many prehistoric burial monuments in Scotland it has been subject to the effects of erosion and agricultural activity over millennia. Such monuments form an important part of the archaeological record for understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and ritual practices in the southwest of Scotland.
