Achnacree Moss, cairn 380m WNW of Achnacairn, is a Bronze Age funerary monument situated in Argyllshire, Scotland. The cairn represents the burial practices of prehistoric communities in the western Highlands, typical of the Bronze Age period when such stone-built structures served as communal or individual sepulchres. The site is recorded in the national heritage register under the designation SM3711. Like many cairns of this period in the region, it would have originally comprised a mound of stones constructed over a burial deposit, though its current condition reflects the effects of later land use and natural processes.
