Quothquan Law is a hillfort situated in Lanarkshire, south-central Scotland, dating to the Iron Age. The fort occupies a prominent hilltop position and is defined by defensive earthworks characteristic of the period, though the specific form and preservation of these defences would require archaeological verification. Like other Iron Age forts in the region, it likely served as a settlement and refuge for a local community, reflecting the territorial organisation and social hierarchies of Iron Age societies in southern Scotland. The site remains an important archaeological monument documenting the pre-Roman occupation of Lanarkshire.
