Cnoc Airigh an Leathaid is a prehistoric settlement comprising hut circles located in Naver Forest, Strathnaver, Sutherland, in the far north of Scotland. The site consists of the remains of circular or oval stone-built structures characteristic of Iron Age occupation in the Scottish Highlands, though settlement may have extended across a longer chronological span. The hut circles represent domestic structures of early historical communities who exploited the resources of the Strathnaver valley, with their stone foundations and positioning on the landscape providing evidence of sustained habitation patterns in this remote region. The site forms part of a broader pattern of Iron Age and early medieval settlement archaeology recorded across the Flow Country and adjacent areas of northern Sutherland.
