Lerags cairn is a prehistoric monument located approximately 400 metres northwest of Lerags House in Argyllshire, Scotland. The cairn represents funerary or ceremonial activity dating to the Bronze Age or earlier periods, reflecting the long history of burial and ritual practice in this region of Argyll. Its physical form, as with many cairns of this type, would have consisted of a mound of stones constructed over a burial or ritual deposit, though its current condition and detailed dimensions are subject to archaeological record. The monument's survival to the present day, despite its age and the passage of millennia, testifies to the durable nature of stone construction in prehistoric Scotland.
