Rinsary Homestead is an ancient settlement located approximately 500 metres west-northwest of Berriedale in Caithness, northern Scotland. The site represents a form of domestic occupation characteristic of the later prehistoric or early historic period in the far north of Scotland, though precise dating requires archaeological investigation. The homestead would have functioned as a self-contained farming settlement, typical of scattered rural habitation patterns found throughout the Highlands and Islands during the later Iron Age and early medieval periods. The site is recorded in the Historic Environment Record (HES INSPIRE reference SM3473) as an important component of the archaeological landscape documenting settlement patterns and land use in Caithness.
