Craig Hill fort and broch is a Iron Age settlement located in Angus, Scotland, comprising both fortified structures characteristic of the region's prehistoric defences. The site consists of a broch, a distinctive circular drystone tower form typical of Iron Age Scotland, alongside associated fort works that would have provided defensive capability and served as a residence for its occupants. The broch structure represents the sophisticated architectural achievements of Iron Age communities in northern Britain, dating to the later prehistoric period when such monuments were constructed and inhabited. The combination of broch and fort elements at Craig Hill exemplifies the settlement patterns and defensive strategies employed by Iron Age populations in eastern Scotland.
