Meall a Choire Bhuidhe is a Bronze Age hut circle settlement located in Naver Forest, Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. The site comprises multiple circular stone-built dwellings typical of prehistoric domestic occupation in northern Scotland, dating to the Bronze Age period. The hut circles, visible as low stone foundations and surrounding bank features, represent evidence of permanent or semi-permanent settlement and demonstrate patterns of land use and habitation in the upland regions of Scotland during the Bronze Age. The site forms part of a wider landscape of prehistoric settlement evidence across Naver Forest, contributing to understanding of early Highland communities and their adaptation to moorland environments.
