Keir Hill of Dasher is a prehistoric earthwork located in Stirlingshire, Scotland. The site comprises an ancient fortified enclosure, likely dating to the Iron Age or earlier Bronze Age period, though precise dating remains uncertain without modern archaeological investigation. The earthwork consists of defensive ramparts and ditches that encircle the hilltop, a characteristic form of settlement fortification common to upland regions of central Scotland during the prehistoric period. Such enclosed hilltop sites typically served as defended settlements or strongholds for local populations, offering strategic advantage through elevated position and constructed defences.
