Coille kerbed cairn is a Bronze Age funerary monument located approximately 1190 metres south-south-west of Islay in Argyllshire, Scotland. The structure consists of stones arranged in a kerbed cairn configuration, a burial form characteristic of the Bronze Age period when such monuments were constructed across Scotland as repositories for the dead and markers of territorial significance. The kerbing—the outer ring of stones defining the cairn's perimeter—represents a deliberate architectural choice typical of prehistoric funerary practice in this region. The monument survives as an archaeological record of Bronze Age burial practices and settlement patterns in the Hebridean landscape.
