The ancient roundhouses located 780m and 805m east-south-east of Kirkton House in Fife, Scotland are Iron Age domestic structures typical of the later prehistoric settlement pattern in eastern Scotland. These monuments, designated as HES INSPIRE SM6790, represent the remains of circular stone or timber-framed buildings that would have served as the dwellings of farming communities during the Iron Age period. The physical character of roundhouses of this era generally comprises stone foundations or post-hole arrangements, though weathering and subsequent land use have affected the visibility and preservation of these particular examples. Their location within the Fife landscape reflects the distribution of Iron Age settlement in the region, contributing to understanding of prehistoric land use and territorial organisation in Scotland during the centuries immediately preceding the Roman period.
