Carn Glas is a Neolithic chambered cairn located approximately 815 metres south-east of Achvraid in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents one of several megalithic burial structures constructed in the Scottish Highlands during this era. As a chambered cairn, the site would have functioned as a communal burial monument, with an internal stone-built chamber accessed via a defined passage, typical of the architectural conventions employed in prehistoric Scotland. The cairn's survival to the present day provides archaeological evidence for settlement patterns and mortuary practices among early farming communities in the region.
