Hurly Hawkin is an Iron Age settlement complex located in Angus, Scotland, comprising an enclosure, broch, and souterrain situated approximately eighty metres south of the main structural elements. The broch represents a characteristic form of Iron Age defensive architecture confined largely to Scotland, typically featuring a hollow-walled circular tower that would have served as both a stronghold and domestic residence for a local elite or community. The associated souterrain, an underground stone-built chamber, exemplifies the enigmatic subterranean structures common to Iron Age settlements in eastern Scotland, though their precise functions remain debated among scholars, with theories ranging from storage facilities to ritual spaces or refuges. The complex as a whole attests to the sophistication of Iron Age settlement patterns and architectural achievement in the region during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
