Watenan Fort is an Iron Age fortification located approximately 100 metres south-south-west of Ulbster in Caithness, northern Scotland. The site comprises the remains of a defended settlement typical of the Iron Age period in northern Britain, when such forts served as secure domestic and possibly communal centres for local populations. The fort's physical remains reflect the defensive architecture characteristic of its era, though the specific details of its construction and chronology remain subjects of archaeological study. As a recorded monument within the Caithness landscape, Watenan Fort contributes to understanding the settlement patterns and social organisation of Iron Age communities in the far north of Scotland.
