Creach Bheinn is a prehistoric cairn and associated survey camp located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The cairn represents funerary or ceremonial activity from the Bronze Age period, whilst the survey camp indicates later systematic investigation of the landscape, likely undertaken during nineteenth-century antiquarian or military surveying work. The site combines evidence of ancient burial practice with the material traces of archaeological and cartographic interest that characterised the scholarly engagement with Highland Scotland during the modern period. The monument's dual designation reflects the layered archaeological significance of the location across distinct historical phases.
