Leachonich is a Neolithic site in Ross-shire, Scotland, comprising two chambered cairns located at approximately 145 metres north and 265 metres north-north-west of a reference point. These monuments date to the Neolithic period and represent a form of communal burial architecture characteristic of early farming communities in northern Scotland. Chambered cairns of this type typically contained stone-built burial chambers within larger mounds of stone, serving as focal points for ritual and mortuary practice. The site forms part of the wider distribution of Neolithic funerary monuments across the Scottish Highlands, contributing to understanding of settlement patterns and social organisation during the early prehistoric period.
