Cnocan Conachreag is a settlement and shielings complex located on the north coast of Caithness in northern Scotland. The site comprises the remains of domestic occupation and associated pastoral structures typical of Highland settlement patterns, with the shielings representing seasonal grazing grounds used in conjunction with permanent or semi-permanent settlement. Dating evidence and artifact assemblages place this site within the medieval to early modern period, reflecting the long-established practice of transhumance farming in the Scottish Highlands. The physical remains, preserved as earthworks and structural foundations across the landscape, provide archaeological evidence of the organisation of rural settlement and agricultural practice in this remote northern region.
