South Ledaig earthwork is a prehistoric defensive or settlement enclosure located in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately one hundred metres north of South Ledaig. The monument comprises an earthen bank and ditch system characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in the Scottish Highlands, though its precise dating remains subject to archaeological interpretation. The earthwork's physical form and topographical setting suggest it served a defensive or territorial function within the local settlement hierarchy of later prehistory. As a scheduled monument under Historic Environment Scotland protection, the site contributes to understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns and land use in Argyllshire during the first millennium before the Common Era.
