Carn Liath is a Neolithic chambered cairn located approximately 380 metres south-west of Kensaleyre Church in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents the type of ritual and ceremonial structure used for collective burial practices during prehistoric Scotland. As a chambered cairn, it would originally have comprised a stone-built burial chamber enclosed within a larger mound of stones and earth, though its current state of preservation should be verified against archaeological records. The site is recorded under Historic Environment Scotland's designation as SM3514 and remains an important example of Scotland's Neolithic monumental architecture.
