Ethie Mains fort is an Iron Age fortification located approximately 750 metres south-east of Ethie in Angus, Scotland. The site represents a defensive settlement of the Iron Age period, constructed with earthwork defences characteristic of settlements from this era in eastern Scotland. The fort's physical remains comprise substantial banks and ditches that would have enclosed and protected a community engaged in agriculture and stock-rearing. Such fortified settlements were typical of Iron Age society in Angus, reflecting the social hierarchies and territorial organisation of prehistoric Scottish communities.
