Burngrange Long Cairn is a Neolithic funerary monument located approximately 800 metres north of Burngrange in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The cairn dates to the Neolithic period and represents the type of communal burial structure characteristic of early agricultural communities in Scotland during the fourth and third millennia before the common era. Long cairns of this period typically served as collective repositories for the dead and often contained internal chambers or compartments, reflecting the social organisation and ritual practices of Neolithic societies. The monument's survival in the landscape, despite centuries of activity and land use change, contributes to understanding the distribution and chronology of Neolithic settlement and burial practices across western Scotland.
