The Peel of Lumphanan, also known as the Peel Ring or Peel Bog of Lumphanan, is a defensive structure dating back to the 13th century. It is located near Lumphanan in Aberdeenshire, north-east Scotland.
The peel comprises a mound or motte, surrounded by two concentric ditches separated by a bank. The outer earth bank is about 4 metres high, the inner ditch or moat is 15 metres across, and the central mound measures 37 by 45 metres . The outer ditch was described as shallow in 1960, and is now difficult to discern. On the top of the mound are the remains of a 1-metre thick wall, and the foundations of a house measuring around 15 by 4 metres . The entrance was probably located to the west. The lower half of the motte consists of a natural mound; it was heightened when the castle was built.
