Turnal Rock is an Iron Age hut circle complex located approximately 250 metres northwest of Langwell Tulloch broch in Caithness, Scotland. The site comprises multiple domestic structures typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in northern Scotland, representing evidence of domestic occupation contemporary with or possibly predating the nearby broch monument. The hut circles demonstrate the diversity of Iron Age settlement forms in the region, which included both the more substantial broch towers and simpler circular dwelling structures. The proximity of this complex to the broch suggests a wider landscape of Iron Age activity and settlement hierarchy in the Langwell area.
