Ledbeg is a pair of Neolithic chambered cairns situated in Sutherland, Scotland, located approximately 675 metres and 725 metres west-south-west of a reference point in the area. These monuments represent examples of the funerary architecture constructed during the Neolithic period, when chambered cairns served as communal burial structures across northern Britain. The cairns reflect the megalithic building traditions characteristic of their era, employing stone construction techniques to create chambers within substantial mounds. Their survival in the Sutherland landscape provides evidence for patterns of Neolithic settlement and mortuary practice in the Scottish Highlands during the fourth and third millennia before the present.
