Noss Sound Broch is an Iron Age fortified structure located on the island of Noss in Shetland, Scotland, situated approximately 200 metres south-southeast of Norther House. The monument represents the broch-building tradition of the northern Scottish Iron Age, a distinctive architectural form unique to Scotland that typically dates from the first century BCE to the first century CE. The site's location on Noss, an island settlement within the Shetland archipelago, reflects the strategic positioning of such structures within island communities of this period. The broch would have served defensive and communal functions for the local population during the Iron Age, though the specific details of its current state of preservation and structural dimensions require assessment through archaeological survey records held by Historic Environment Scotland.
