Unenclosed settlement, 315m E of Dovecot Cottage is a prehistoric settlement site located in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises scattered structural remains characteristic of early occupation patterns in the Scottish Highlands, where communities established temporary or seasonal settlements without formal defensive or boundary enclosures. Such unenclosed settlements are typical of Bronze Age and Iron Age periods in Scotland, reflecting patterns of pastoralism and subsistence agriculture practised before the widespread adoption of enclosed settlement forms. The site's archaeological designation by Historic Environment Scotland indicates its significance for understanding early settlement behaviour and land use in the region.
