Carse Farm is a Bronze Age stone circle situated in Perthshire, Scotland, positioned 350 metres west-north-west of the farm itself. The monument stands upon bedrock formed during the Middle Cambrian period, part of the Southern Highland Group, which comprises ancient volcanic and sedimentary rocks including lava, tuff and volcaniclastic material. This geological foundation reflects the complex volcanic history of the Scottish Highlands and would have been well-known to the Bronze Age communities who erected the circle.
Stone circles of this type were constructed during the Bronze Age as ceremonial and ritual centres, likely serving functions connected to burial practices, astronomical observation or seasonal gatherings. The Perthshire landscape provided suitable stone sources and prominent locations for such monuments, making it a significant region for Bronze Age religious activity.
The circle is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM1511, ensuring its preservation as an important record of Bronze Age ritual practice in the Highlands.
