Largiemore Fort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Argyllshire, Scotland, positioned north-east of the settlement of Largiemore. The site represents a typical example of the defended domestic architecture characteristic of the Scottish Iron Age, when communities constructed substantial earthwork or stone fortifications to protect their settlements. The fort's precise chronology within the Iron Age period and details of its construction technique remain subjects of archaeological study, though its designation as a scheduled monument reflects its significance to understanding settlement patterns and defensive strategies in this region during the pre-Roman Iron Age. The site's archaeological importance lies in what it contributes to wider understanding of Iron Age territorial organisation and social hierarchy in Atlantic Scotland.
