Airigh Shamhraidh is a post-medieval house with associated enclosures and field system located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of a dwelling structure together with surrounding field boundaries and enclosed areas characteristic of early modern rural settlement and agricultural organisation in the Highlands and Islands region. The archaeological evidence indicates habitation and land use patterns consistent with the post-medieval period, reflecting the subsistence farming practices and settlement strategies typical of Argyllshire during this era. The combination of house, enclosures, and field systems provides material evidence of domestic life and agricultural land management in a remote upland environment during the centuries following the medieval period.
