Low Smerby is a prehistoric funerary monument comprising four cairns located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The cairns date to the Bronze Age and represent a type of burial practice common throughout Scotland during this period, when communities constructed stone mounds to mark the graves of their dead. The site lies approximately 420 metres south-east of Low Smerby itself and forms part of the broader landscape of Bronze Age ritual and funerary activity in the region. Such cairn groups, though often heavily denuded by agricultural activity and stone robbing, remain important evidence for understanding prehistoric settlement patterns and burial customs in the Scottish Highlands.
