Brainport Bay is a Bronze Age and Iron Age archaeological site in Argyllshire, Scotland, comprising stone alignments and quern quarries. The site demonstrates evidence of prehistoric ritual or ceremonial activity through its aligned stone features, whilst the quarry workings indicate exploitation of local stone resources for the production of quern stones, which were essential grinding implements in antiquity. The physical remains reflect the landscape's use across extended prehistoric periods, with the quarrying activities particularly attesting to small-scale domestic stone working. The site contributes to understanding of resource management and material culture in the Argyll region during the Bronze and Iron Ages.
