Knock Hill, hut circle 315m NNE of Fernyhowe is a Bronze Age or Iron Age settlement feature located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The site consists of a circular or sub-circular hut platform, characteristic of prehistoric domestic occupation in the upland regions of north-east Scotland. Such hut circles represent the remains of timber or turf-built dwellings and are commonly dated to the later prehistoric period, though precise dating for individual examples often remains uncertain without excavation. The site's location within the broader landscape of Aberdeenshire suggests it formed part of the dispersed settlement pattern typical of ancient agricultural communities in this region.
