Mellon Udrigle is a prehistoric hut circle located on the beach in Ross-shire, in the far north of Scotland. The site represents evidence of early settlement in the region, belonging to a period when coastal locations were exploited for habitation and resource access. The hut circle survives as an earthwork depression, indicating the sunken or semi-subterranean construction typical of Iron Age domestic structures in northern Scotland. Its position on the foreshore demonstrates the importance of maritime resources to early Scottish communities, though the exact dating of this particular example requires archaeological confirmation.
