Newbigging Enclosures, Ring Ditches and Souterrain is an Iron Age settlement complex located approximately 300 metres south-west of Newbigging in Angus, Scotland. The site comprises multiple defensive enclosures defined by ring ditches alongside a souterrain, a characteristic underground stone-built passage typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in eastern Scotland. These features, dating to the Iron Age, reflect the agricultural and domestic organisation of communities in this region, with the souterrain likely serving functions relating to storage or refuge. The concentration of enclosures and underground structures at this location demonstrates the settlement intensity and architectural sophistication of Iron Age societies in Angus.
