The Tulloch is a Iron Age fortified enclosure located 177 metres north-east of Langdale in Sutherland, Scotland. The monument consists of a defended settlement typical of the Iron Age period in northern Scotland, constructed with ramparts or stone walls to enclose and protect the inhabitants and their activities. Such fortified enclosures served as focal points for local communities during the Iron Age, providing defence and perhaps signifying the status or authority of those within. The site's location in Sutherland reflects the distribution of Iron Age settlement across the Highland regions of Scotland, where similar enclosed settlements are attested across the archaeological record.
