Parkhead is a Iron Age ring-ditch, souterrain and enclosure located approximately 200 metres northeast of Parkhead in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises a circular defensive earthwork with an associated underground stone-built passage, characteristic of Iron Age settlement practices in central Scotland. The combination of ring-ditch fortification and souterrain indicates a high-status or particularly defended settlement of the Iron Age period, when such subterranean structures served functions ranging from food storage to refuge during conflict. The site represents important evidence for Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the Tayside region.
