Carn Ban is a Neolithic chambered tomb located on the Isle of Arran in Scotland ({{gbmapping|NR99102618}}).

Description

Carn Ban is situated in the southern part of Arran, and a walk of four miles is required to reach the site.[1] It is on a steep south-west facing slope in a forest clearing partly covered in grass.[2]

It is considered as one of the most famous of the Neolithic long cairns of south-west Scotland.[1] It is of a type found across south-west Scotland known as a Clyde cairn.[1] It is trapezoidal in shape,[1] with a semicircular forecourt at the upper northeast end.[2] The forecourt has an entrance leading into a long chamber divided into compartments by cross-slabs, similar to the arrangement at Torrylin Cairn, about 3 miles to the southwest.[1] The chamber of Carn Ban is 30 metres long and 18 metres broad.[1] The tomb was excavated in the late 19th century, but the only finds were a flint flake, an unburnt fragment of human bone, and a pitchstone flake.[2] The site has been designated a scheduled ancient monument by Historic Environment Scotland.[3]
