Sna Brugh is a broch located on the Ness of Snabrough in Shetland, Scotland, dating to the Iron Age. The monument represents the distinctive architectural form of the Scottish broch, a hollow-walled circular stone tower characteristic of northern Britain during the first centuries AD. Little remains visible of the structure today, though its designation within the national heritage record acknowledges its archaeological significance as evidence of Iron Age settlement and construction practices in the Shetland Islands. The site contributes to understanding of the distribution and chronology of broch-building activity across the northern Scottish archipelago during this period.
