Crinan Moss Cist, Barsloisnoch is a Bronze Age burial monument located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The cist consists of stone-built burial chambers typical of Bronze Age funerary practice in western Scotland, constructed to contain human remains and grave goods. Such monuments are characteristic of the Early Bronze Age period, roughly 2000–1500 BCE, representing a significant development in burial practices across Scotland during this era. The site's location in the Crinan Moss area reflects the distribution of Bronze Age settlement and funerary activity across the Argyll peninsula, contributing to our understanding of prehistoric land use and social organisation in this region.
