Inverdunning House is a Bronze Age henge monument situated in Perthshire, Scotland, approximately 140 metres south of Inverdunning House itself. Henges of this period typically comprise one or more circular banks and ditches, often with internal features, and served ritual or ceremonial functions within prehistoric communities. The monument lies upon bedrock of the Arbuthnott-Garvock Group, a geological formation dating to the Pragian period, composed primarily of sandstone with subordinate bands of conglomerate, siltstone and mudstone. This solid foundation would have provided a substantial platform for the earthwork's construction.
The henge belongs to a distinctive Bronze Age cultural tradition that flourished across Britain, with Perthshire containing numerous examples of such monuments. The specific character of Inverdunning House reflects the local landscape and resources available to its builders, who would have exploited the underlying geology and natural topography to create their ceremonial space.
The monument is protected by Historic Environment Scotland as a scheduled monument under reference SM8922, recognising its archaeological significance and the information it preserves about Bronze Age ritual practices and settlement patterns in Perthshire. Its survival in the modern landscape provides valuable evidence for understanding prehistoric communities in central Scotland.
