Priestfield is a palisaded homestead and associated ring ditches located approximately 350 metres east-south-east of Priestfield in Angus, Scotland. The site comprises a defended settlement of Iron Age date, characterised by palisade trenches that would have supported timber fortifications enclosing the domestic settlement. The ring ditches represent structures typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in eastern Scotland, where circular or sub-circular ditched enclosures served as boundaries for individual roundhouses or other domestic compounds. The archaeological remains provide evidence of settlement organisation and defensive practices during the Iron Age period in the Angus region.
