The Tulloch (Usshilly) is a broch and associated field system situated in Caithness, north-eastern Scotland, dating to the Iron Age. The broch represents a distinctive form of Scottish roundhouse architecture characteristic of the period roughly between the 1st century BC and 1st century AD, featuring the characteristic hollow-walled stone construction typical of such structures. The field system associated with the broch indicates the agricultural practices and land management of Iron Age settlement communities in northern Scotland. Such broch settlements, often accompanied by field divisions and outbuildings, provide archaeological evidence for the social organisation and subsistence strategies of Iron Age communities in this region.
