Mithergarth is a ring-ditch house located in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, approximately 280 metres south-south-east of Mithergarth itself. The monument represents a form of prehistoric domestic settlement characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age occupation in northeast Scotland. Ring-ditch houses are defined by a circular or sub-circular ditch that once surrounded a timber-built dwelling, with the ditch serving both practical drainage and possibly defensive or demarcation purposes. The site's archaeological significance lies in its evidence of early settlement patterns and construction practices in this region during the later prehistoric period.
