Clumlie is a broch located on the island of Yell in Shetland, Scotland, dating to the Iron Age period. The monument represents one of the distinctive fortified circular stone towers that characterised settlement in northern Britain during the first centuries BC and AD. Like other brochs in Shetland, Clumlie would have served as a substantial defensive or prestige residence for a local elite family, with its thick double walls and inward-facing chambers reflecting advanced Iron Age architectural knowledge. The site is protected as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland records (SM2065).
