Kyle of Durness is a prehistoric cairn located approximately 350 metres north-northeast of Sarsgrum in Sutherland, Scottish Highlands. The monument is a burial structure of Bronze Age or later prehistoric date, typical of the funerary practices evident across northern Scotland during the second and first millennia before the present era. As a surviving example of cairn construction in this region, the site contributes to understanding settlement patterns and ceremonial practices in the far northwest Highlands during antiquity. The cairn's precise chronology and internal structural details remain subjects of archaeological interest in the broader context of Sutherland's prehistoric archaeological landscape.
