Levenwick broch is a Iron Age circular stone tower located approximately 515 metres east of Burgadies in the Shetland Islands, Scotland. The monument dates to the Iron Age period and represents the characteristic architectural tradition of broch-building that flourished in northern Britain during the first centuries BC and AD. Like other brochs, the structure would have served defensive and possibly communal functions for the local population, though the specific circumstances of its construction and use remain subjects of archaeological inquiry.
