Green Hill Broch is an Iron Age defensive structure located near Roster in Caithness, northern Scotland. The monument is a broch, a distinctive circular stone tower characteristic of Iron Age Scotland, typically dating to between the 1st century BCE and 1st century CE. Like other brochs in the region, Green Hill would have served as a fortified residence or refuge for a local elite family or community, its tall walls and internal galleries providing both defensive capability and substantial living space. The site's survival in the Caithness landscape contributes to our understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns and architectural practices in the far north of Scotland.
