Tealing, souterrain, Underground structure in Tealing, Scotland
The Tealing souterrain extends beneath the ground with curved stone walls, narrow passages, and a carefully constructed entrance system that dates from the Iron Age period.
Constructed during the Iron Age between 2000-2500 years ago, this underground chamber functioned as a storage facility for agricultural products and valuables of the local settlement.
The construction methods used in the Tealing souterrain demonstrate the engineering capabilities of Iron Age communities in Scotland and their understanding of underground architecture.
Visitors need to contact Historic Environment Scotland in advance to arrange access to the site, as the underground structure requires specific safety considerations.
The stone walls of the souterrain contain distinctive cup and ring marks, which represent an additional layer of archaeological significance to this underground structure.
