St John's Kirk Fort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located approximately 360 metres west-north-west of St John's Kirk in Lanarkshire, Scotland. The site represents a characteristic example of Iron Age defensive architecture from the first millennium before the Common Era, when such hillforts and enclosed settlements served both protective and territorial functions across Scotland. The fort's physical remains indicate the presence of substantial earthwork defences typical of the period, comprising banks and ditches that would have enclosed a residential and administrative space. This monument contributes to the archaeological understanding of Iron Age settlement patterns in central Scotland and the wider cultural development of pre-Roman Britain.
