Leckie Broch, Archaeological site in Stirling, Scotland.
The broch stands as a circular stone structure situated above two streams with deep gulleys on the southern foothills of the Forth Valley.
Archaeological excavations between 1970 and 1978 revealed Roman artifacts, including pottery, glass, and coins, indicating occupation during the Roman period.
The stone construction represents an Iron Age architectural form found predominantly in Scotland, demonstrating advanced building techniques of ancient Scottish inhabitants.
Visitors can reach the site by following the A811 road between Stirling and Kippen, then proceeding through Gargunnock into the woodland area.
The site contains distinct rock carvings featuring cup marks and rectangular patterns, with some arranged in ladder-like formations across multiple rock faces.
