Laws Hill broch and fort is a complex Iron Age defensive monument located in Angus, Scotland, comprising both a broch and an associated fort. The broch represents the characteristic Scottish Iron Age fortified tower structure, whilst the fort elements suggest multi-phase occupation and defensive use across the Iron Age period. The site occupies a prominent hilltop location, which would have provided commanding views of the surrounding landscape and strategic control over local territory. The combination of broch and fort structures at Laws Hill indicates a settlement of some significance during the Iron Age, likely serving both residential and defensive functions for the local community.
