Kilbraur broch is an Iron Age stone tower situated in Sutherland in the Scottish Highlands. The structure dates to the Iron Age period, representing the distinctive broch architectural tradition that flourished in northern and western Scotland during the first centuries before and after the Common Era. The site lies approximately 135 metres south-southwest of Kilbraur and survives as a substantial ruined monument, preserving evidence of the characteristic double-walled construction typical of broch fortifications. These impressive circular towers served defensive and possibly prestige functions within Iron Age societies, and their distribution across northern Scotland reflects important settlement patterns and social organisation of the period.
