Ridh a'Chaibeil is a burial ground and cross situated south-east of Tarbert in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site comprises an early medieval burial ground associated with an upright stone cross, monuments typical of early Christian settlement in the Hebrides and western Scottish mainland dating broadly to the early medieval period. Such burial grounds frequently mark the locations of monastic or ecclesiastical communities that played significant roles in the Christianisation of the region during the early medieval centuries. The cross and burial ground together form an important archaeological testimony to early Christian practice and territorial organisation in Kintyre.
