The hut circle and enclosure 540m WSW of Middleton is a Post-Medieval upland settlement site located in Renfrewshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a circular or oval dwelling structure with an associated enclosure, representing the type of pastoral settlement that characterised the Scottish Highlands and upland areas during the Early Modern period. Such sites typically functioned as seasonal or permanent residences for herders and small-scale agriculturalists exploiting marginal land resources. The physical remains visible today consist of the earthwork traces of the building footprint and surrounding boundary features, which survive as low stone or turf banks marking the extent of the occupied area.
