Overview

History & significance

Bonhard Park is an ancient unenclosed settlement located south-east of Bonhard in Perthshire, Scotland. The site represents a form of prehistoric or protohistoric settlement organisation characteristic of Bronze Age or Iron Age communities in the region, though precise dating remains uncertain without excavation. Unenclosed settlements of this type typically comprise clusters of domestic structures, often roundhouses, distributed across open ground without defensive fortifications, suggesting communities engaged in agricultural and pastoral subsistence. The Perthshire landscape contains numerous examples of such settlements, which provide evidence of settlement patterns and land use practices during the later prehistoric period.
