Borenich Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located approximately 550 metres northwest of Borenich in Perthshire, Scotland. The site consists of a dun, a small stone-built defensive structure characteristic of Iron Age settlement in Scotland, typically comprising a circular or oval stone-walled enclosure. Such structures served as high-status residences and strongholds for local elites during the Iron Age period. The dun at Borenich represents the archaeological evidence of Iron Age occupation and social hierarchy in the Perthshire region, forming part of the broader pattern of dun-building that occurred across Scotland during this period.
