The henge and palisaded enclosure near Millhaugh Farmhouse in Perthshire is a Neolithic monument complex comprising a substantial earthwork enclosure with associated palisade traces. The site consists of a henge monument, characterized by a ditch and bank structure typical of Neolithic ceremonial centres, alongside evidence of a timber palisade that would have formed part of the monument's defensive or demarcatory function. Dating to the Neolithic period, the monument reflects the ritual and organisational capabilities of early farming communities in central Scotland. The survival of both henge and palisade elements at this location provides valuable archaeological evidence for understanding settlement hierarchies and ceremonial practices in prehistoric Perthshire.
