Dun Beag is a Bronze Age cairn situated approximately 100 metres south-southwest of Struan in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The monument consists of a substantial stone mound characteristic of funerary or ritual monuments from the Bronze Age period, reflecting the burial practices and ceremonial traditions of prehistoric Highland communities. Such cairns served as territorial markers and places of ancestor veneration within the landscape, and their construction required considerable communal effort, indicating social organisation and shared cultural values among contemporary populations. The site remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement and ritual activity in the Scottish Highlands.
