Torwoodlee is a Iron Age broch situated in Selkirkshire in the Scottish Borders. The monument comprises a broch tower together with associated fort defences and linear earthworks, representing a complex of structures that illustrate the defensive and settlement strategies of the Iron Age period. The broch itself displays the characteristic hollow-walled construction typical of Scottish Iron Age brochs, whilst the surrounding fortifications indicate the site's importance as a defended settlement. The linear earthworks extending from the main complex suggest territorial organisation and possible stock management practices during this period.
