Broombarns is a settlement located approximately 400 metres south-south-west of Perthshire, Scotland. The site occupies ground underlain by Silurian to Devonian extrusive rocks of mafic composition, comprising ancient lava flows and tuff deposits formed during the Devonian period. This volcanic bedrock provides the geological foundation upon which the settlement was established, influencing the terrain and natural resources available to its inhabitants.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM8770, recognising its archaeological significance within the Perthshire landscape. Settlements of this type, positioned on such distinctive geology, often reflect the strategic choices of their occupants regarding access to materials, water sources and arable land. The mafic volcanic basement would have shaped the character of soils and drainage patterns across the settlement area.
Broombarns forms part of the archaeological record of rural settlement development in Perthshire. The site's legal protection ensures that its archaeological remains are preserved for future study and understanding of settlement patterns and land use in this region of central Scotland.
