Achanarras Cairn is a prehistoric burial monument located approximately 800 metres northwest of Achanarras in Caithness, northern Scotland. The cairn dates to the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, representing a funerary or ceremonial structure typical of early agricultural societies in the north of Scotland. The monument survives as a substantial earthwork consisting of a mound of stone and earth, though its original extent and internal structure have been subject to modification over the millennia. As an example of Caithness's significant cairn tradition, it forms part of the wider archaeological landscape documenting early settlement and ritual practice in the far north of mainland Britain.
