Tingwall broch is an Iron Age stone tower located approximately 90 metres west of Tingwall House in Orkney, Scotland. The site comprises the broch structure itself together with an associated mound, which may represent the remains of additional settlement activity or structural features of the Iron Age period. Brochs are characteristic of northern Scotland, particularly the Northern Isles, dating to the Iron Age and representing a distinctive form of defensive or high-status residential architecture constructed from drystone masonry. The Tingwall example contributes to the archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns in Orkney and demonstrates the distribution of these impressive structures across the islands.
