Inver Fort is a post-medieval house and look-out post situated approximately 570 metres south-east of an Iron Age fort in Caithness, Scotland. The structure dates to the post-medieval period and served a dual function as both a domestic residence and a fortified observation point, reflecting the strategic importance of this location in northern Scotland. The site's proximity to the earlier Iron Age fortification indicates continuity of occupation across multiple periods at this defensible position. The look-out post element suggests the structure was utilised for coastal or territorial surveillance during the post-medieval era.
