Creag an Amalaidh is a post-medieval hut circle settlement and field system located 270 metres north-north-east of Achinail in Sutherland, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of domestic structures and associated cultivation patterns that reflect the agricultural practices and settlement organisation of the post-medieval Highlands. Such settlements are characteristic of the period following the medieval era, representing both the continuation of traditional Highland settlement forms and the gradual shifts in land use and habitation patterns that occurred across northern Scotland during this time. The combination of structural remains and field systems provides evidence for the relationship between domestic settlement and subsistence farming in this upland region.
