Overview

History & significance

Pitroddie Farm Souterrain and Unenclosed Settlement is an Iron Age archaeological site located approximately 250 metres southeast of Pitroddie Farm in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises a souterrain, an underground stone-built structure characteristic of Iron Age settlement in Scotland, alongside evidence of an associated unenclosed settlement. Souterrains of this period typically served domestic or storage functions within Iron Age communities, and their presence at Pitroddie indicates occupation during the later prehistoric period. The unenclosed settlement layout reflects the pattern of Iron Age habitation in eastern Scotland, where domestic structures were often arranged without formal defensive boundaries or enclosures.
