Carn Glas is a Neolithic chambered cairn situated in Ross-shire, Scotland, approximately 275 metres south-southeast of Ross Hill. The monument represents a characteristic example of the megalithic burial architecture constructed during the Neolithic period, when such cairns served as communal depositories for the dead and functioned as significant markers within the prehistoric landscape. The site is recorded in the Scheduled Monument register under Historic Environment Scotland designation SM3213. As with other chambered cairns of this region and period, Carn Glas would have comprised stone-built internal chambers covered by substantial cairn material, though the precise dimensions and preservation status of its structural elements reflect the cumulative effects of weathering and land use over approximately five thousand years.
