Dun a'Bhuic is a Iron Age dun situated in Argyllshire, Scotland, southwest of Cleongart. The site represents a form of defended settlement characteristic of the Iron Age in the Hebrides and west coast of Scotland, typically comprising a circular or oval stone-built enclosure designed to provide protection and control of local resources. The dun's physical structure and archaeological context place it within the broader tradition of Iron Age fortified homesteads that dominated the Scottish landscape during the late pre-Roman Iron Age period. Such monuments reflect the social hierarchies and territorial organization of Iron Age communities in Atlantic Scotland.
