Clach na h'Uaighe is a cross-inscribed stone located in Sutherland, Scotland, designated as a scheduled monument under the Historic Environment Scotland reference SM1888. The stone bears a carved cross incised into its surface, characteristic of early medieval Christian monuments found throughout northern Scotland. Such cross-marked stones typically date to the early Christian period, roughly between the sixth and tenth centuries, and served as markers of Christian sacred space, burial grounds, or territorial significance. The monument reflects the Christianisation of the Highlands and Islands during the early medieval period and remains an important archaeological witness to this transformative phase in Scottish history.
