Craig Glas is a Post-Medieval hut circle and enclosure located approximately 1020 metres west-south-west of Birkhill in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The site comprises a circular or oval stone-built structure characteristic of domestic occupation during the Post-Medieval period, associated with an adjacent enclosure that likely served pastoral or agricultural functions. Such hut circles with their attendant field systems represent the settlement patterns of rural communities in upland Aberdeenshire during the sixteenth to eighteenth centuries, when subsistence farming and transhumance practices were common across the region. The monument is recorded under Historic Environment Scotland designation SM11471 and contributes to understanding the dispersed settlement archaeology of early modern northern Scotland.
