Crackaig Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located on the island of Jura in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately 340 metres north-east of Crackaig Hill. The site represents a typical example of the defensive stone structures constructed during the Iron Age period, when such duns served as strongholds for local communities and their livestock.
