Fugla Ness broch is an Iron Age defensive structure situated on the Shetland Islands in northern Scotland. The broch dates to the Iron Age period and represents the characteristic architectural form of Scottish Atlantic towers, which were constructed with distinctive hollow-walled circular stone design. Located approximately 330 metres north-north-west of Fugla Ness itself, this monument stands as evidence of Iron Age settlement and territorial control in the Shetland archipelago. The structure exemplifies the regional building traditions of the period, when such fortified towers served defensive and possibly prestige functions for Iron Age communities in the far north of Britain.
