Lochlands souterrain is a subterranean stone-built structure located approximately 340 metres north-east of Lochlands in Perthshire, Scotland. Dating to the Iron Age, the souterrain represents a type of underground dwelling or storage facility characteristic of settlement patterns in Scotland during the later prehistoric period. The structure consists of stone-built passage and chamber work typical of such monuments, which served purposes including habitation, storage, or refuge. These monuments provide valuable archaeological evidence for understanding Iron Age settlement, domestic organisation, and construction techniques in the Scottish Highlands.
