Overview

History & significance

Wester Bonhard is an ancient unenclosed settlement located approximately 300 metres north-north-west of the principal settlement in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of what is believed to be an Iron Age or early medieval occupation, evidenced by settlement features characteristic of unenclosed communities typical of northern Britain during these periods. Unenclosed settlements of this type lack the defensive ditches or palisades associated with contemporary fortified sites, suggesting a community organised on different social or economic principles. The site contributes to understanding patterns of rural settlement and land use in Perthshire during the late prehistoric and early historic periods.
