Carrick Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located approximately one kilometre north-north-west of Edintian in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises a dun, a small stone-built defensive structure characteristic of Iron Age settlement in Scotland, surrounded by the remains of an associated depopulated settlement. As a dun, the monument represents a form of elite or defended domestic occupation typical of the Scottish Iron Age, serving as both residence and refuge. The designation as a depopulated settlement indicates that the wider community around the dun was subsequently abandoned, leaving archaeological evidence of the Iron Age occupation pattern in this region of Perthshire.
