Tullochs of Assery is a Neolithic chambered cairn located approximately 1000 metres south-west of Lieurary Mains in Caithness, Scotland. The monument dates to the Neolithic period and represents the tradition of collective burial practice characteristic of northern Scottish prehistory. As a chambered cairn, the site would have served as a communal burial monument, with an internal stone-built chamber contained within a larger cairn structure of stacked stones. The survival of such monuments in the Caithness landscape provides evidence of settlement patterns and funerary practices during the early farming communities of northern Britain.
