Kilmory Lodge cairn is a prehistoric burial monument located on the Isle of Rum in Argyllshire, Scotland. The cairn, situated approximately 250 metres north of Kilmory Lodge, is a substantial stone mound constructed in the Neolithic or Bronze Age period, though precise dating remains uncertain without archaeological excavation. Such burial cairns are characteristic of early farming communities in the Scottish Hebrides and represent an important class of funerary architecture spanning several millennia of prehistory. The monument survives as a testament to early settlement and ritual practices on Rum, an island with significant archaeological remains from multiple prehistoric periods.
