Norman's Law

Norman's Law is an Iron Age fortification on a 285 m high summit at the east end of the Ochil Hills . It is located at Dunbog near the Firth of Tay , eight kilometers east of Newburgh in County Fife in Scotland .

The rocky top of the hill is surrounded by an oval wall that measures approximately 50.0 × 30.0 m. The complex has its entrance on the northeast side. The current shape probably represents the last phase of the hill fortification. In the summit area, the remains of round huts and field terraces are visible. On the lower terraces , the remains of walls can be seen, which probably belong to the fortification.
