Shuna Point Cairn is a prehistoric burial monument located approximately 350 metres north-east of Shuna Point in Argyllshire, Scotland. The cairn dates to the Bronze Age and consists of a stone mound constructed as a funerary structure, typical of burial practices in this region during the second millennium before the present. Such cairns served as prominent landscape markers and repositories for the remains of individuals of probable social significance within their communities. The monument survives as an archaeological resource that contributes to understanding Bronze Age settlement patterns and mortuary practices in the Argyll peninsula.
