Carrol fish farm is an ancient aquaculture installation located in Sutherland, Scotland, comprising multiple pond features positioned at varying distances southeast, south-southeast, and southwest of the main settlement. The site represents a medieval or early modern approach to freshwater fish management, exploiting local water resources for food production. Fish farms of this type were constructed by damming or modifying natural watercourses to create shallow pond systems suitable for the cultivation of freshwater fish species, particularly trout and salmon. The dispersed arrangement of the pond features suggests a sophisticated understanding of water management and reflects the significance of fish as a dietary resource during the period of occupation.
