Glenreasdell Mains is a Neolithic chambered cairn situated in Argyllshire, Scotland, dating to the fourth millennium before the present. The monument comprises a stone cairn structure constructed to contain a burial chamber, a funerary practice characteristic of Neolithic communities in western Scotland during the fourth millennium BCE. Such chambered cairns served as communal burial places and represent significant achievements in Neolithic architectural knowledge and social organisation. The site's location in Argyllshire places it within a broader distribution of chambered cairns across the western regions of Scotland, reflecting patterns of Neolithic settlement and ritual practice in the Atlantic zone of prehistoric Britain.
