Loch Migdale Henge is a Bronze Age ritual monument situated 160 metres east-south-east of Lochend in Sutherland, Highland Scotland. The site consists of a circular earthwork characteristic of henge construction, comprising a ditch and internal or external bank arrangement typical of Bronze Age ceremonial complexes. Such henges served functions related to ritual, astronomical observation, and communal gathering during the Bronze Age period, likely dating to the second millennium BCE. The monument remains an important archaeological record of Bronze Age settlement patterns and ceremonial activity in the Scottish Highlands, though its precise architectural details and state of preservation reflect both the passage of millennia and the landscape dynamics of northern Scotland.
