Castle Hill is a medieval castle and ecclesiastical site located 70 metres north-east of Clunie Church in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises earthwork remains indicating fortification and religious occupation during the medieval period. The castle hill itself represents a defensive position that would have served the local community, whilst the proximity of an associated church site suggests the settlement held both secular and spiritual significance. The earthworks visible today constitute the principal surviving evidence of medieval activity at this location, though detailed chronological attribution requires examination of the archaeological record registered with Historic Environment Scotland.
