Meall Odhar, shielings 900m W of, is a group of ancient pastoral structures located in Perthshire, Scotland. These shielings represent the transhumant pastoral economy of the Highlands, whereby livestock were moved seasonally to upland grazing grounds during the summer months. The structures date from the medieval period through to the early modern era, reflecting centuries of Highland agricultural practice. The site comprises the archaeological remains of temporary shelters used by herders and their animals, with the physical character typical of shieling settlements: low stone-built or turf-built structures situated at altitude to exploit seasonal pasture resources.
