Overview

History & significance

Castle Dow is a Bronze Age hut circle settlement located in Perthshire, Scotland, situated at approximately 950 metres south of a reference point in the upland landscape. The site comprises multiple hut circles distributed across the terrain at varying distances, reflecting the dispersed settlement pattern characteristic of Bronze Age occupation in the Scottish Highlands. These circular stone-built domestic structures represent evidence of prehistoric domestic life and pastoral subsistence practices in the region. The site's location in the upland zone indicates adaptation to moorland environments during the Bronze Age period, though the precise dates of occupation and the extent of the settlement remain subjects for archaeological investigation.
