Kier Wood is an Iron Age fort situated 370 metres north-east of The Boathouse in Fife, Scotland. The monument comprises a defensive earthwork characteristic of Iron Age settlement patterns in eastern Scotland, constructed during the later prehistoric period when such fortified sites served as centres of habitation and resource control. The fort's physical remains, though altered by subsequent land use, preserve evidence of the Iron Age occupation and defensive strategy typical of Fife during this period. As a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland protection, the site contributes to understanding settlement hierarchies and territorial organisation in Iron Age Fife.
