Green Castle is a prehistoric earthwork located in Kincardineshire, Scotland. The monument comprises an univallate hillfort with a single defensive rampart enclosing an interior space, characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in northeast Scotland. The earthwork's physical form suggests occupation and use during the later prehistory of the region, though precise dating evidence remains limited without archaeological investigation. Such fortified enclosures served defensive and administrative functions within Iron Age communities, and Green Castle's position within the local landscape would have offered strategic advantage for its inhabitants.
