Glenmoy is an Iron Age enclosed settlement and souterrain located in Fife, Scotland. The site comprises a defensive settlement enclosed by earthwork ramparts, typical of the later prehistoric period in eastern Scotland, alongside a souterrain—an underground stone-built passageway characteristic of Iron Age settlement practices in this region. The souterrain represents the distinctive architectural tradition of Pictish and Iron Age communities, serving practical purposes related to storage or refuge. The monument is a significant example of Iron Age settlement organisation in Fife and contributes to understanding of prehistoric occupation and land use patterns in the Tay valley region during the first millennium BCE.
