Rinsary is a broch and post-medieval farmstead located approximately 300 metres south-south-west of Berriedale in Caithness, Scotland. The broch element belongs to the Iron Age period and represents one of Scotland's distinctive prehistoric tower structures, characteristic of the first centuries BC and AD. The site underwent later occupation during the post-medieval period when farming activity was established in the vicinity of the earlier monument. The combination of Iron Age and post-medieval archaeological features at this location reflects the long-term use of the landscape around Berriedale.
