Burnside Chambered Cairns is a Neolithic monument comprising two distinct chambered structures located in Sutherland, Scotland, positioned approximately 340 metres and 270 metres west of Burnside. These cairns represent examples of the communal burial architecture characteristic of the fourth millennium BC, a period during which chambered cairns served as repositories for the collective dead within prehistoric Scottish communities. The sites are documented within the heritage record as significant examples of Sutherland's Neolithic funerary landscape, contributing to understanding of early settlement patterns and ritual practices in the far north of Scotland.
