Baraskomill Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately 275 metres north-north-east of Baraskomill. The monument consists of a dun, a characteristic Scottish Iron Age defensive structure comprising a stone-built circular or oval enclosure with substantial walls designed to provide protection and demonstrate the status of its inhabitants. Such duns were typically occupied during the Iron Age and into the early medieval period, serving as strongholds for local elites across the western Highlands and Islands. The site's construction and use pattern reflect the settlement hierarchy and defensive requirements of Iron Age Argyll, a region where such fortified settlements were strategically distributed across the landscape.
