Borve Hill souterrain is an Iron Age underground passage structure located approximately one kilometre west of Borve Hill in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The monument is designated with the Historic Environment Scotland reference SM5388 and represents a characteristic example of the souterrain type, a distinctive class of subterranean construction found throughout northern Scotland and dating to the Iron Age period. Souterrains of this kind were typically constructed beneath or adjacent to settlement sites and served functions that may have included storage, refuge, or ritual purposes, though their precise use remains subject to scholarly debate. The structure exemplifies the engineering capabilities and settlement patterns of Iron Age communities in the Scottish Highlands.
