Sornach Coir'Fhinn is a Bronze Age stone circle situated approximately 350 metres south of Ben Langass in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The monument comprises a ring of standing stones typical of Bronze Age ritual and ceremonial landscapes in the Scottish Highlands, representing a form of monumental expression common to the period between roughly 2000 and 1000 BCE. As with many Highland stone circles, the site's precise original function remains debated amongst scholars, though circles of this type are generally interpreted as having served ceremonial, astronomical, or burial-related purposes within their contemporary communities. The circle contributes to the archaeological record of Neolithic and Bronze Age monumentality in northern Scotland and is recorded within the Historic Environment Scotland database under the reference SM5125.
