Cnoc an Duin is a hilltop fort situated approximately 1250 metres west-north-west of Coag in Ross-shire, Scotland. The site consists of defensive earthworks typical of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Scottish Highlands, comprising an enclosed or fortified settlement constructed on elevated terrain. Such forts served as both defensive strongholds and centres of local authority during the Iron Age period. The monument's location on high ground afforded strategic advantage for surveillance and protection of surrounding lands, characteristics consistent with other contemporary fortified settlements across northern Scotland.
