Hawks Ness is a broch situated at Corbie Geo in Shetland, Scotland, dating to the Iron Age. The monument represents the characteristic defensive or high-status residential architecture of the Atlantic broch tradition, a distinctive form of stone tower found across northern Scotland and particularly prevalent in the Shetland Islands. Like other brochs of its period, Hawks Ness would have comprised a circular stone structure with hollow-walled construction, designed to project significant vertical mass across the landscape. The broch's location at Corbie Geo reflects the typical Shetland pattern of Iron Age settlement, often positioned to command views across coastal or agricultural terrain.
