Leacach an Tigh Cloiche is a Neolithic chambered cairn located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site comprises multiple elements including a chambered cairn, a standing stone, and the remains of a house structure, reflecting complex use and reuse of the location across different periods. The chambered cairn represents the primary Neolithic monument, typical of the ritual and burial practices of early farming communities in northern Scotland during the fourth and third millennia before the present. The presence of later domestic structures indicates that the site continued to hold significance for subsequent populations, who adapted or occupied the landscape around the earlier monumental remains.
