Tealing souterrain is an Iron Age underground stone-built structure located in Angus, Scotland. The monument comprises a subterranean passage constructed from stone slabs and walls, typical of souterrain architecture found throughout Iron Age Scotland, particularly in the northeast. Such structures are believed to date to the later Iron Age, roughly between the first century BC and first century AD, though their precise function remains debated amongst scholars, with interpretations ranging from storage facilities to refuge spaces or ritual chambers.
