Clachan burial ground is an ancient burial ground situated northwest of Killandrist in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site represents a significant example of early Christian or medieval funerary practice in the West Highlands, though precise dating remains uncertain without detailed archaeological investigation. The burial ground's location in this remote part of Argyll reflects the dispersed pattern of burial sites characteristic of the region during the medieval period. Like many such grounds in the Hebrides and western mainland, it preserves evidence of centuries of use as a communal burial place for the local population.
