Carn na Feinne is a Neolithic chambered cairn located in Ross-shire, Scotland, dating to the fourth or third millennium BCE. The monument comprises a stone cairn constructed over an internal stone-built chamber, characteristic of the megalithic funerary monuments that proliferated across northern Britain during the Neolithic period. Such chambered cairns served as communal burial structures, facilitating the internment of successive generations and reflecting the ritual practices and social organization of prehistoric communities. The site represents an important element of the archaeological heritage of the Scottish Highlands, contributing to the understanding of Neolithic settlement patterns and mortuary customs in northern Scotland.
