Knock Hill, hut circle 340m S of Wester Braehead is a prehistoric domestic structure located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The site represents the material remains of Bronze Age settlement in northeast Scotland, a period during which such circular or sub-circular dwellings formed the basis of rural communities across the region. The hut circle survives as an earthwork feature, preserving evidence of domestic organisation and land use in this remote agricultural landscape. Such structures, typically dated to the later Bronze Age or Iron Age, provide important archaeological testimony to the patterns of habitation and subsistence economy in ancient Aberdeenshire.
