Tullochgorum is a Neolithic chambered cairn and stone circle located in Inverness-shire, Scotland, approximately 450 metres west of its associated settlement. The site comprises two distinct monument types from the Neolithic period, reflecting the ritual and funerary practices of early farming communities in the Scottish Highlands. The chambered cairn represents a significant example of megalithic burial architecture, whilst the adjacent stone circle suggests the site held ceremonial importance beyond its primary funerary function. Such paired monuments are characteristic of later Neolithic landscapes in northern Scotland, where communal burial structures and ritual stone settings often occupied shared sacred spaces.
