Stair Haven is a Iron Age broch located in Wigtownshire, south-western Scotland, situated approximately 300 metres south of Stair Haven itself. Brochs are distinctive circular stone towers characteristic of Iron Age Scotland, typically dating to the last centuries before the Common Era, and represent sophisticated defensive or prestige structures built by local elites. The broch at Stair Haven, like others of its type, would have featured a hollow-walled construction with internal passages and galleries, demonstrating advanced architectural knowledge. Such monuments are particularly concentrated in northern and western Scotland and provide important evidence for settlement patterns and social organisation during the later Iron Age period.
