Altnacealgach Inn is a Neolithic chambered cairn located in Sutherland, Scotland, approximately 180 metres north-northwest of Altnacealgach Inn itself. The monument belongs to the chambered cairn tradition of Neolithic Scotland, a category of monumental funerary structures that served as communal burial places during the fourth and third millennia BCE. Like other examples of this type, the cairn would have incorporated an internal stone chamber or chambers, though its current condition reflects the effects of time and landscape change. The site forms part of the substantial archaeological heritage of the Far North of Scotland, where such monuments represent the religious and social practices of early farming communities in the region.
