Camore Wood is an ancient settlement located in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. The site comprises structural remains indicative of early settlement activity in the region, though precise dating and detailed archaeological characterisation require reference to specialist surveys and excavation records held by Historic Environment Scotland. As with many upland settlements in Sutherland, the site reflects patterns of land use and habitation that span potentially several centuries, from prehistoric through to medieval periods. The monument's significance lies in its contribution to understanding the settlement history and land exploitation strategies of the far north of Scotland.
