Cladh a' Bhearnaig is a cashel situated on the island of Kerrera in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a roughly circular stone-built enclosure characteristic of Iron Age or early medieval settlement patterns in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Its construction and use reflect the defensive and domestic needs of communities occupying the region during the later prehistoric or early historic period. The site's location on Kerrera, an island in the Firth of Lorn, would have provided strategic advantage for settlement and control of maritime routes in medieval Argyll.
