Dryleys souterrain is an Iron Age underground passage structure located approximately 150 metres northwest of Dryleys in Angus, Scotland. The monument represents a characteristic example of the souterrain tradition that flourished in eastern Scotland during the Iron Age, constructed as a subterranean chamber or passage system typical of settlements in this region and period. Such structures served practical purposes, possibly related to storage, refuge, or ritual functions within contemporary settlement patterns. The site is recorded in the national monuments database under HES INSPIRE reference SM6134 and contributes to understanding Iron Age domestic and community organisation in Tayside and Angus.
