Lagmore West is a Neolithic chambered cairn and stone circle located in Banffshire, Scotland. The site comprises a substantial cairn structure associated with a stone circle, representing important monuments of the Neolithic period when such ritual and burial complexes were constructed across northeastern Scotland. The chambered cairn would have functioned as a communal burial monument, whilst the stone circle likely served ceremonial or astronomical purposes typical of Neolithic sacred landscapes. This combination of monument types at a single location reflects the sophisticated ritual practices and social organisation of Neolithic communities in the Aberdeenshire region.
