Meall Meadhonach is a settlement and shielings complex located approximately 900 metres north of Meall Meadhonach in Sutherland, Scotland. The site comprises remains of permanent settlement structures alongside temporary pastoral shelters typical of Highland land use patterns, reflecting the integrated farming economy of the region. The shielings indicate seasonal transhumance practices, whereby livestock were driven to upland pastures during summer months, a pattern extensively documented in Scottish Highland society from at least the medieval period onwards. The archaeological remains at this location contribute to understanding of rural settlement hierarchies and pastoral land management in the far north of Scotland.
