Ben Hiant House cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately 620 metres south of Ben Hiant House. The cairn represents the burial practices characteristic of the Bronze Age period in western Scotland, when such stone-built structures served as communal or individual burial sites. The monument survives as a substantial accumulation of stones, the physical remains of what would once have been a more formally constructed burial cairn. Like many Bronze Age cairns in the region, it reflects the settlement and funerary traditions of early metal-working societies in Argyll.
