Clickimin Broch is a Iron Age broch and associated settlement located on the island of Mainland in Shetland, Scotland. The broch itself dates to the first century AD and represents a substantial stone-built circular tower, characteristic of the broch-building tradition of Iron Age northern Britain. Archaeological investigation has revealed evidence of occupation spanning several centuries, with settlement activity continuing beyond the broch's initial construction period. The site demonstrates the defensive and domestic functions typical of broch settlements, with the tower itself constructed to a considerable height and incorporating internal stone galleries within its thick walls.
