A dun located approximately 930 metres south-southeast of Cape Wrath Hotel in Sutherland, Scotland, is a fortified circular or oval stone structure dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises a defensive dwelling characteristic of northern Scottish prehistoric settlement, constructed with stone walls and designed to provide protection and habitation for a small community or family group. Such duns are among the most distinctive architectural remains of the Iron Age in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, representing a period of significant social stratification and the need for fortified domestic centres. The site's location in the far northwest of mainland Scotland reflects the distribution of Iron Age settlement across the region and contributes to understanding settlement patterns and social organisation in prehistoric Sutherland.
