Dun Altabrug is a Iron Age dun and causeway located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site comprises a fortified circular stone structure typical of Iron Age settlement in the Scottish Highlands, accompanied by a causeway that would have provided access to the dun itself. The monument dates to the Iron Age period, representing the defensive and domestic architecture characteristic of Celtic settlement in northern Scotland during this era. Such duns served as strongholds for local aristocratic families and their dependents, and the associated causeway indicates deliberate engineering to facilitate controlled access to this fortified residence.
