Greod Fort is an Iron Age fortification located in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately 900 metres south-east of a kelp kiln. The fort represents a defensive settlement typical of the Iron Age period in the Scottish Highlands, constructed to provide protection and control over the surrounding landscape. The associated kelp kiln, a later industrial feature, reflects the economic importance of kelp harvesting and processing along the Argyll coast, an activity that became particularly significant from the seventeenth century onwards. The two monuments together illustrate the palimpsest of human activity at this location across different historical periods.
