Dunamuck is a Bronze Age stone alignment consisting of three stones located in Argyllshire, Scotland. Two of the stones remain upright whilst the third has fallen, though all three form part of a single Bronze Age monument, a type of ceremonial or territorial marker common throughout prehistoric Scotland. The site represents an important example of Bronze Age ritual or astronomical practice in the West Highlands, reflecting the sophisticated use of landscape by early Bronze Age communities. Such alignments, whether standing or recumbent, are characteristic of the second and early first millennia BCE and provide evidence of organised ceremonial activity and possibly astronomical observation in Bronze Age Argyll.
