Skelpick Lodge is a Neolithic chambered cairn located in Sutherland, northern Scotland, dating to the fourth or third millennium BCE. The monument consists of a stone-built burial chamber set within a cairn of stacked stones, representing a funerary structure typical of the Neolithic period in Scotland. Chambered cairns of this type served as communal burial places, suggesting organised ritual practices and social structures among early farming communities. The site's survival and recording contribute to archaeological understanding of Neolithic settlement and mortuary customs in the far north of mainland Britain.
