Rossie Law Fort is an Iron Age hillfort located in Perthshire, Scotland, situated on a prominent hilltop that affords commanding views of the surrounding landscape. The fort is defined by defensive ramparts and ditches characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in eastern Scotland, representing the type of high-status settlement that dominated the region during the later prehistoric period. The site dates to the Iron Age, though precise chronological refinement remains limited without extensive modern excavation. Its elevated position and substantial defensive structures suggest it served as an important territorial stronghold, likely functioning as a centre of power and control for the surrounding area during this period.
