An Dun is a Iron Age dun situated in Strath Canaird in Cromartyshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a circular stone-built fortification characteristic of the Iron Age period in northern Scotland, representing a form of defended domestic settlement common to the region during the first millennium before the Common Era. Duns of this type typically served as residences for individuals of higher social status and provided both domestic and defensive functions within their communities. The site's location in Strath Canaird reflects the pattern of Iron Age settlement distribution across the Scottish Highlands and evidence for territorial occupation during this period.
