Ardnacross is a Neolithic chambered cairn located in Argyllshire, Scotland, approximately one kilometre north-northwest of Ardnacross itself. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents the type of communal burial structure characteristic of early farming communities in western Scotland during the fourth and third millennia BC. Chambered cairns of this character typically comprise stone-built burial chambers set within substantial cairn mounds, constructed to serve as collective repositories for the dead across multiple generations. The site is designated under the Scottish heritage record system and remains an important example of Neolithic funerary architecture in the Argyll region.
