Ardanstur is a dun located in Argyllshire, Scotland, approximately 345 metres west of Top Ardanstur. The monument dates to the Iron Age and represents a defensive settlement characteristic of that period in western Scotland. The dun would have served as a fortified residence or stronghold for a local elite or community, typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Such structures are generally small, stone-built fortifications, though specific architectural details of this particular example require archaeological investigation for comprehensive documentation.
