An Dun, also known as Dun Deardail, is a vitrified Iron Age fort located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The monument consists of a univallate fortification with a single stone rampart, typical of Iron Age defensive structures in the Scottish Highlands. The rampart exhibits vitrification, a process whereby stone has been fused through intense heat, a characteristic feature of many Scottish Iron Age forts that may have resulted from defensive burning or construction technique. The site represents an important example of prehistoric fortified settlement in the region and reflects the settlement patterns and defensive strategies of Iron Age communities in northern Scotland.
