Cairnvickuie Cross Incised Stone is an Early Christian monument located in Argyllshire, Scotland, comprising a stone bearing an incised cross design characteristic of early medieval Christian material culture in the West Highlands. The stone dates to the Early Christian period, likely between the sixth and eighth centuries, reflecting the spread of Christianity across Dalriada and the broader Argyll region during this formative ecclesiastical phase. The incised cross motif represents a common form of Christian expression in early medieval Scotland, preceding the development of more elaborate sculptured monument traditions. As a modest but significant example of early Christian stone carving, the monument contributes to understanding the material expression of Christianity in the Hebridean and west coast regions during the early medieval period.
