Ballymeanoch Cairn, located approximately 300 metres north-west of Ballymeanoch in Argyllshire, is a prehistoric cairn of Neolithic or Bronze Age date. The monument consists of a stone cairn whose precise dimensions and structural details reflect the funerary or ceremonial practices of early agrarian communities in the Argyll region. Such cairns were typically constructed as burial monuments, often containing cist burials or cremations, and served as enduring focal points within the Bronze Age landscape. The site forms part of the wider distribution of cairns across Argyllshire, testament to sustained use of this territory during prehistory.
