Ardlamey cairn, situated approximately 800 metres south-west of Ardlamey in Argyllshire, is a prehistoric burial monument of Bronze Age date. The cairn represents a characteristic funerary structure of the early to mid-Bronze Age period, when communal and individual burials were commonly marked by substantial stone heaps across the Scottish landscape. Such monuments typically contained cremated or inhumed human remains, along with grave goods that reflected the status and material culture of the interred individual or family group. The site's survival in the landscape, recorded under Historic Environment Scotland designation SM3397, attests to its archaeological significance as evidence of Bronze Age settlement and mortuary practice in Argyllshire.
