Culthill souterrains, located 100 metres east-south-east of Culthill in Perthshire, is an Iron Age underground stone-built structure characteristic of the souterrain tradition found across eastern Scotland. The monument consists of a subterranean passage constructed from stone, typical of structures dating to the later Iron Age period, roughly between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD. Souterrains of this type remain poorly understood in their precise function, though they are variously interpreted as defensive refuges, storage facilities, or ritual spaces associated with nearby settlements. The Culthill example forms part of the significant concentration of such monuments in Perthshire and surrounding regions, providing important archaeological evidence for Iron Age settlement patterns and construction techniques in Scotland.
