Cnoc Carnachadh is a broch situated approximately 1400 metres north of Carnachy in Sutherland, northern Scotland. This Iron Age defensive structure belongs to the distinctive tradition of broch-building that flourished in northern and western Scotland, primarily during the later Iron Age, likely spanning the first centuries BC and AD. The site is recorded in the Historic Environment Scotland database under reference SM1850, confirming its status as a scheduled monument of archaeological importance. As with other brochs of this period, the structure would have served defensive and possibly prestige functions within its local landscape, though the specific details of its construction and occupation history remain to be fully established through archaeological investigation.
