Acharn Bridge kerb-cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 120 metres east-north-east of Acharn in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument is characterised by its kerb structure, which defines a circular or sub-circular burial mound typical of prehistoric cairn construction in the region. Such kerb-cairns represent a distinctive form of burial architecture from the Bronze Age, reflecting the funerary practices and social organisation of communities in early second-millennium Scotland. The site's survival in the modern landscape provides evidence of the distribution and character of Bronze Age settlement and ceremonial activity in Argyll.
