Halcro Manse broch is an Iron Age fortified circular tower located in Caithness, northern Scotland. The structure dates to the Iron Age period, when such broch towers were constructed across northern Britain, typically serving as defended settlements or high-status residences. The broch stands approximately 640 metres south of Halcro Manse itself and represents the characteristic architectural form of its era, featuring a circular stone-built design with thick walls that once rose to considerable height. Like other brochs in the region, it would have provided both defensive capabilities and prominent visibility across the landscape, functioning as a significant focal point within Iron Age settlement patterns in Caithness.
