Glenkindie House souterrain is an Iron Age underground stone-built passage located approximately 350 metres west-southwest of Glenkindie House in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. The structure represents a typical example of the souterrain tradition prevalent in north-eastern Scotland during the later Iron Age, constructed using stone corbelling or lintels to create a subterranean chamber and passage system. Such monuments are thought to have served domestic, storage, or ritual functions within Iron Age settlement patterns, though their precise purpose remains debated among archaeologists. The site is formally designated as a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland's records (INSPIRE designation SM10953), reflecting its archaeological importance to understanding Iron Age settlement and construction practices in the region.
