Culnakirk Burn is a burnt mound located 540 metres north-north-west of Garbeg Cottage in Inverness-shire, Scotland. Burnt mounds of this type are archaeological features consisting of fire-cracked stone and charcoal-rich soil, typically dating to the Bronze Age, though some continued in use into later periods. They are interpreted as the remains of cooking sites or processing areas, often associated with water sources such as streams or burns, where hot stones would have been used to heat liquids in organic containers.
