East Adamston is a Iron Age souterrain and unenclosed settlement located in Angus, Scotland, situated approximately 670 metres north-north-east of the main settlement. The site comprises an underground stone-built passage, characteristic of Iron Age settlement in eastern Scotland, alongside evidence of associated open settlement patterns typical of the period. Souterrains of this type are thought to date to the later Iron Age, with construction and use spanning from around the first century BCE through the Roman period and beyond. The monument represents an important example of the distinctive settlement archaeology of Iron Age Angus, where such subterranean structures may have served domestic, storage, or defensive purposes within broader settlement communities.
