Long cairn and standing stones, 200m SE of Monyquil, is a Neolithic funerary and ritual monument situated on the Isle of Bute in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. The site comprises a chambered cairn of elongated form typical of early Neolithic communal burial practices, dating to approximately 4000–3000 BCE, along with associated standing stones that likely served ceremonial or territorial functions. The monument represents the material culture of early farming communities who colonised the Scottish islands during the Neolithic period, providing archaeological evidence for settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Clyde region. As a scheduled monument under historic environment protection, the site remains significant for understanding the development of megalithic traditions in western Scotland and the transition from hunter-gatherer to agricultural societies.
