Stonehenge House is a Neolithic chambered cairn situated in Inverness-shire, Scotland, approximately 20 metres west-north-west of Stonehenge House itself. The monument belongs to the chambered cairn tradition characteristic of Scotland's Neolithic period, when communities constructed monumental stone tombs serving as communal burial places and territorial markers within the landscape.
The cairn was constructed on bedrock formed from the Moine Supergroup, a semipelite deposit of Neoproterozoic age, which would have provided suitable ground conditions for the monument's construction. This underlying geology shaped the available stone resources and the practical considerations of building in this upland region of the Scottish Highlands.
The site is protected by Historic Environment Scotland under scheduling reference SM11548, recognising its importance as a surviving example of Neolithic monumental architecture. Chambered cairns across northern Scotland demonstrate the sophisticated engineering knowledge and communal labour organisation of Neolithic societies, with these structures often remaining prominent landscape features for millennia after their original construction.
