An Dunan is a Iron Age dun situated in Argyllshire, Scotland, west-south-west of Auchadaduie. The monument consists of a stone-built fortified enclosure typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Scottish Highlands and islands, representing a form of defended domestic architecture that was prevalent during the later prehistoric period. Such duns served as strongholds for local communities and are thought to have functioned as residences for families of elevated status.
