Craonaval is a pair of Bronze Age cairns located in Inverness-shire, Scotland, situated approximately 330 metres and 430 metres north-west of the main settlement. The monuments are characteristic examples of the cairn-building tradition prevalent during the Bronze Age in the Scottish Highlands, representing funerary or ceremonial structures typical of that period. Both cairns survive as substantial stone mounds, evidence of the organized construction effort invested in burial or ritual monuments by Bronze Age communities in this region. The site is recorded under Historic Environment Scotland's national monument database, confirming its archaeological significance as part of the broader pattern of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in Inverness-shire.
