Druim an Duin is a Iron Age dun situated in Argyllshire, Scotland, representing a form of fortified domestic settlement characteristic of the Atlantic Scottish littoral during the later prehistoric period. The monument comprises the remains of a stone-built circular or oval enclosure typical of duns, which served as defended residences for elite families during the Iron Age. Such structures are archaeologically significant as evidence of social hierarchy and settlement patterns in Iron Age Atlantic Scotland, though the precise dating and phases of occupation at Druim an Duin would require reference to excavation records and specialist analysis of the site itself.
