Rosal is a Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement site comprising hut circles and associated clearance cairns located in Naver Forest, Strathnaver, Sutherland. The site demonstrates evidence of prehistoric occupation and land management practices, with multiple circular dwelling structures accompanied by the clearance cairns characteristic of upland settlement patterns during the later prehistoric period. The remains represent an important archaeological record of settlement distribution and agricultural exploitation in northern Scotland during the Bronze Age and subsequent Iron Age transition, illustrating both domestic architecture and the process of clearing land for cultivation and pasture that sustained prehistoric Highland communities.
