Kyle of Durness is a hut circle located 750 metres south-west of Sarsgrum in Sutherland, Scotland. The site represents prehistoric domestic settlement, though the specific dating and cultural attribution remain subject to archaeological interpretation typical of structures of this class in the northern Highlands. The monument consists of a circular or sub-circular hollow, characteristic of Iron Age or earlier domestic occupation, where the depression marks the sunken floor level of a former dwelling. Such hut circles are common archaeological features across the far north of Scotland and indicate patterns of pastoralist or mixed subsistence settlement in this region during antiquity.
