Kilearnan Broch is an Iron Age circular stone tower located in Sutherland, in the far north of Scotland. The broch dates to the Iron Age and forms part of the distinctive architectural tradition of broch-building that flourished in Scotland during the later prehistoric period. Like other brochs of its type, it would originally have comprised a hollow-walled circular structure with internal galleries and a central courtyard, representing a significant investment in labour and resources. The site is registered in the Historic Environment Scotland INSPIRE database and remains an important example of Iron Age settlement architecture in the north of Scotland.
