An Dun, Sloc a'Bhrighide is an Iron Age dun located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site represents a form of defended domestic settlement characteristic of the Iron Age period in the Scottish Highlands and islands, comprising a stone-built circular or oval structure with substantial walls designed for protection and prestige. Such duns typically date from the later Iron Age, roughly the first centuries before and after the Common Era, and served as the fortified residences of local elites. The monument's survival as upstanding remains permits study of Iron Age settlement patterns and architectural practices in the west of Scotland during this transformative period of proto-historic settlement.
