Castles Farm Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately 60 metres north-northwest of Castles Farm. The site represents a typical Scottish dun of the Iron Age period, a class of small stone-built fortified dwelling that served as a defended residence for a local elite or family group. The monument's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding settlement patterns and defensive architecture in Iron Age western Scotland, where such structures were concentrated. Like many duns in the region, the site likely dates to somewhere within the Iron Age chronological range, though precise dating would depend on archaeological investigation and any radiocarbon or artefactual evidence recovered from excavation.
