Glenashdale Wood Fort is an Iron Age fortification located on the Isle of Arran in Bute, Scotland, approximately 1340 metres west-north-west of Giants Graves. The fort represents a significant example of Iron Age defensive settlement in the Clyde region, dating to the later prehistoric period when such hillforts and enclosed settlements were prevalent across Scotland. The site's physical remains reflect the architectural traditions of Iron Age communities, though specific details of its structural elements and current condition are best verified through the Historic Environment Scotland records. As part of Arran's archaeological landscape, the fort contributes to understanding settlement patterns and territorial organisation during the Iron Age in the western Scottish Hebrides.
