Invergowrie souterrains, located west of the TA Centre in Angus, Scotland, is an Iron Age underground stone-built structure characteristic of the souterrain tradition found throughout eastern Scotland. These subterranean passages, constructed from stone and typically featuring corbelled or lintel roofing, date to the later Iron Age and represent a distinctive form of settlement infrastructure whose precise function remains subject to scholarly debate, though they are generally interpreted as storage facilities, refuges, or ritual spaces associated with nearby surface settlements. The site demonstrates the sophisticated stone construction techniques employed by Iron Age communities in this region and provides evidence of the settlement patterns and material culture of pre-Roman Scotland.
