South Yarrows long cairn is a Neolithic monumental burial structure located in Caithness, northern Scotland. The cairn dates to the Neolithic period and represents the characteristic long mound form typical of early agricultural communities in Britain, constructed as a communal burial monument. Located approximately 210 metres south-west of South Yarrows, the site is recorded within the Historic Environment Record and designated under the scheduled monument protection scheme. Like other long cairns of this period, it would have served important ceremonial and funerary functions for local Neolithic populations, though detailed archaeological investigation of its internal structure and contents is limited in the published record.
