Kintraw is a Neolithic or Bronze Age artificial hillside platform located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The platform was constructed by cutting into the natural slope to create a level terrace, likely serving ceremonial or ritual purposes during prehistoric times. The site's precise function remains a matter of scholarly interpretation, though such platforms are thought to have held significance for gatherings, ceremonies, or astronomical observations. The monument survives as a notable example of prehistoric earth-working in the West Highlands and demonstrates the considerable labour investment ancient communities made in landscape modification.
