Creag nan Caorach is a Bronze Age burial site comprising four cairns situated southeast of Kinbrace in Sutherland, northern Scotland. The cairns represent a characteristic form of monumental burial practice in the Highlands during the Bronze Age, when communities constructed stone mounds over cremated or inhumed human remains. The site's location on elevated moorland is typical of Bronze Age cemetery groupings in this region, reflecting patterns of settlement and funerary practice across the Scottish Highlands during the second and early first millennia BC. The four-cairn arrangement suggests the burial ground may have served a local kinship group or community over an extended period.
