Brae of Pert is a ring ditch monument located approximately 1200 metres north of Muir of Pert in Angus, Scotland. The site consists of a circular or sub-circular ditch that typically dates to the Bronze Age or Iron Age period, when such earthwork enclosures served as the remains of domestic settlements, ritual sites, or defensive structures. Ring ditches of this type are characteristic prehistoric monuments of eastern Scotland, with the ditch often marking the outer boundary of what would have been a timber or stone-built structure or enclosed settlement area. The monument's survival as an earthwork demonstrates the persistence of prehistoric settlement patterns across the landscape of Angus.
