Greenhill Broch is an Iron Age defensive structure located in Caithness, northern Scotland. The monument comprises a hollow-walled circular tower typical of the broch form, a settlement type distinctive to the Scottish Iron Age and dating to approximately the first centuries BC and AD. Although now in ruinous condition, the broch's surviving masonry demonstrates the sophisticated dry-stone construction techniques employed in Iron Age Scotland. Such structures are believed to have served as high-status residences and strongholds, providing their inhabitants with both defensive capability and a visible demonstration of power within the landscape.
