Knockloam ring-ditches, located 500 metres north-west of Knockloam in Nairnshire, is a prehistoric monument comprising one or more circular ditched enclosures. The site dates to the Bronze Age, a period during which such ring-ditch monuments were constructed across Scotland, typically serving ceremonial, domestic, or funerary functions. Ring-ditches of this type are characterised by circular or sub-circular ditches that may have enclosed timber structures or earthen mounds, though their precise original purpose remains subject to scholarly debate. The monument is recorded in the Nairnshire archaeological record and designated as a scheduled ancient monument, reflecting its significance to understanding Bronze Age settlement and ritual practices in the Highlands region.
