Loch Naver, hut circle 780m ESE of Dail a Thuraich is a prehistoric domestic structure located in Sutherland, northern Scotland. The site represents evidence of Iron Age or Bronze Age settlement in the Scottish Highlands, typical of the small circular or oval stone-built dwellings that characterise this remote region during antiquity. The hut circle survives as a low stone foundation, marking the location of a single-roomed domestic unit that would have housed a family group engaged in pastoral and subsistence agriculture. Such structures form part of the wider archaeological landscape of Loch Naver, which contains multiple prehistoric settlement remains documenting sustained human occupation of the area across several millennia.
