Baraskomill is a Iron Age fort located approximately 600 metres north-west of Baraskomill in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site comprises a substantial defended settlement with associated shieling structures, reflecting the pastoral and domestic economy of the Iron Age inhabitants of the western Scottish Highlands. The fort's defensive works and the presence of multiple shieling platforms indicate a settlement pattern adapted to both permanent occupation and seasonal transhumance, a common practice in this period and region. The site contributes to understanding of Iron Age settlement hierarchy and land use in Argyll during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
