Culnacraigh hut circle, situated 450 metres north-north-west of Culnacraigh in Ross-shire, is an ancient residential structure dating to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period. The monument comprises a circular or sub-circular earthwork typical of prehistoric domestic settlement in the Scottish Highlands, with a surviving ring bank that marks the perimeter of the former dwelling. Such hut circles represent the material evidence of pastoralist and agricultural communities that inhabited the upland regions of northern Scotland during the later prehistoric periods. The site's survival in the landscape, despite centuries of agricultural and environmental change, contributes to the archaeological understanding of settlement patterns and domestic life in Ross-shire during antiquity.
