Tofthill is an ancient enclosed settlement located approximately 300 metres north-north-west of Tofthill in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises an enclosure of prehistoric or early historic date, representing a form of settlement pattern common in northern Britain during the Iron Age and Romano-British periods. The earthwork consists of a defined enclosed area, likely constructed to provide defence or demarcation of domestic and agricultural space. Such enclosed settlements are characteristic of the upland and marginal land settlement strategies employed by communities in Perthshire during the first millennium, though the precise chronology of this particular example requires further archaeological investigation to establish its exact date of construction and use.
