Craig is a pair of Iron Age forts situated in Dumfriesshire, Scotland, approximately 650 metres south-southwest of a named location. The two fortifications represent defensive settlements characteristic of the Iron Age period in southern Scotland, when such enclosed structures served as territorial centres and places of refuge. The forts occupy a strategic position within the landscape typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the region, though specific details of their internal structures and chronological refinement remain subjects of archaeological investigation. These monuments form part of the substantial record of Iron Age fortified sites across Dumfriesshire, contributing to understanding of settlement organisation and social hierarchy during this period.
