The ring-ditches located 300 metres east-south-east of Classlochie in Kinross-shire are prehistoric earthworks consisting of concentric circular ditches surrounding a central raised platform. These monuments date to the Bronze Age and represent the remains of domestic or ceremonial structures typical of the second millennium before the present era. The ditches define the extent of settlement activity, whilst the central area suggests occupation or ritual use during a period of significant social organisation in prehistoric Scotland. Such ring-ditched sites are characteristic Bronze Age settlement markers found across central Scotland and provide evidence of contemporary land use and community organisation in the region.
