Denoon Law is a small Iron Age fort situated in Angus, Scotland. The site comprises a univallate earthwork defence consisting of a single rampart with an external ditch, characteristic of Iron Age hillforts in eastern Scotland. Its precise dating within the Iron Age period remains uncertain, though the fort's construction and use likely span the later prehistoric period. The monument occupies a defensible position typical of Iron Age settlements, though its relatively modest scale and construction suggest it may have served a more localised function within the settlement hierarchy of the region.
