Upper Latheron chambered cairn is a Neolithic funerary monument located in Caithness, northern Scotland. The cairn dates to the Neolithic period and represents the type of chambered burial structure characteristic of prehistoric Scotland's communal burial practices. As a chambered cairn, it would have originally contained an internal stone chamber or chambers accessed by a passage, constructed beneath a substantial mound of stone. Such monuments served as repositories for multiple burials and reflect the social organisation and ritual practices of Neolithic communities in the far north of Scotland.
