A cairn, 160 metres south-west of Cladh Maolruibhe standing stone in Inverness-shire, is a Bronze Age funerary or ceremonial monument. The structure comprises a mound of stones typical of burial cairns from the second millennium BC, representing the funerary practices of Bronze Age communities in the Scottish Highlands. Such cairns often contained cremated or inhumed remains and served both as burial repositories and as landscape markers of significance to contemporary populations. The monument's proximity to the standing stone suggests these features formed part of a broader Bronze Age ritual or ceremonial complex in this part of Inverness-shire.
