Little Larg hut circle and cairns is an ancient settlement site located approximately 1300 metres west of Little Larg in Wigtownshire, south-west Scotland. The site comprises a hut circle and associated cairns, indicating Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation, though the precise dating requires archaeological assessment. Such settlements are characteristic of prehistoric pastoral communities in south-west Scotland, where circular dwellings and burial or clearance cairns reflect subsistence practices and social organisation during the later prehistoric period. The site's survival as an archaeological monument contributes to understanding settlement patterns and land use in this region during antiquity.
