Hatchbank souterrain is an Iron Age underground stone-built passage chamber located near Kinross in Perthshire and Kinross-shire. The structure represents a form of fortified or defensive settlement architecture characteristic of the later Iron Age in Scotland, typically dated between the first century BC and the first century AD. Souterrains of this type were constructed by excavating into the ground and lining the passages with dry stone walling, creating subterranean galleries that may have served defensive, storage, or ritual functions. The Hatchbank example contributes to the archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns in central Scotland and remains an important example of this distinctive monument class.
