Broombarns is a settlement located 300 metres south of Broombarns in Perthshire, Scotland. The site occupies ground underlain by Silurian to Devonian extrusive rocks of mafic composition, formed during the Devonian period as ancient lava flows and tuffs. This volcanic bedrock, exposed across much of the surrounding landscape, would have influenced both the character of the soils available to early settlers and the stone resources accessible for building and tool-making.
The settlement's positioning in Perthshire places it within a region of significant archaeological interest, where numerous sites testify to sustained human occupation across millennia. The rocky terrain and the particular geological character of the site would have shaped the nature of settlement and subsistence practices of its inhabitants.
The site is protected as a scheduled monument by Historic Environment Scotland under reference SM8771, recognising its archaeological importance. The protection ensures that the physical remains of this settlement, whether expressed in surface earthworks, structural features or subsurface deposits, are preserved as evidence of past settlement patterns and land use in the Perthshire landscape.
