Clochkan is a Bronze Age hut circle and cairn complex located in Perthshire, Scotland, situated approximately 1050 metres north of Clochkan settlement. The site comprises a substantial cairn and associated hut circle, representing evidence of prehistoric domestic and ritual activity in the upland landscape. The cairn construction and hut circle dwelling are characteristic of Bronze Age settlement patterns in Scotland, indicating occupation and land use during the second and first millennia before the Common Era. The monument's position within the Highland terrain reflects the exploitation of upland zones during prehistory, and both elements contribute to understanding settlement distribution and subsistence strategies in Bronze Age Perthshire.
