Broich is a Neolithic ceremonial complex situated approximately 600 metres south-east of Duchlage in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises multiple components typical of early prehistoric ritual landscapes: a cursus, a ring-ditch, a barrow, and a palisade structure, indicating sustained ceremonial use spanning the Neolithic period. The cursus, a distinctive linear earthwork bounded by parallel banks, would have served ritual or processional functions characteristic of Neolithic monumental architecture in Scotland. The associated ring-ditch and barrow demonstrate the site's continued importance for burial and ceremonial practices, whilst the palisade structure suggests later phases of activity or delimitation of the sacred space.
