Although hillforts are generally dated to the Iron Age, there has been some evidence that some of these sites date back to the Late Bronze Age (ScARF Bronze Age section 2.2). However, at present, the evidence for the Highlands is inconclusive and awaits further excavation and dating. Similarly, Highland crannogs have yet to produce a Bronze Age dating (Chapter 7.3).
