Duncarnock fort is an Iron Age fortification located in Renfrewshire, Scotland. The site comprises a substantial defended enclosure characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in west-central Scotland, with defensive earthworks that would have provided protection and territorial control during the pre-Roman period. Its construction and use fall within the broader Iron Age occupation of the region, reflecting the strategic importance of elevated positions in the landscape. The fort represents evidence of organised settlement and defensive architecture in Renfrewshire during the centuries preceding Roman contact with northern Britain.
