Drumbain Cottage hut circles are a Bronze Age settlement located in Inverness-shire, Scotland, comprising at least three distinct circular domestic structures positioned at intervals of 725 metres, 845 metres, and 975 metres east-south-east of Drumbain Cottage itself. These hut circles represent evidence of prehistoric settlement patterns typical of the Scottish Highlands during the Bronze Age, when dispersed family groups or small communities occupied upland terrain. The physical remains consist of the characteristic circular stone foundations and wall traces that define such prehistoric domestic sites across northern Scotland. The spatial distribution of the three structures suggests a planned or semi-planned settlement layout rather than isolated occupation, providing insight into Bronze Age patterns of land use and settlement organisation in the Highlands.
