Cromal Mount is a mound and earthwork complex located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site comprises an artificial mound with associated defensive or boundary earthworks, characteristic of medieval settlement patterns in the Highlands. Such monuments typically served as strongholds or administrative centres for local lords during the medieval period, though the precise dating and functional purpose of this particular site would require archaeological investigation to establish definitively. The earthworks remain visible in the landscape as a testament to medieval land use and fortification practices in northern Scotland.
