Dun Ban is a Iron Age fort located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of a fortified settlement typical of the later prehistoric period in the Scottish Highlands and Islands, when such structures served as defensive strongholds and centres of local authority. The fort's physical characteristics reflect the construction methods and spatial organisation common to Iron Age settlements in the region, with evidence of substantial stone or timber fortifications. While detailed archaeological investigation has provided information about its structural form, Dun Ban remains an important example of Iron Age settlement patterns in Argyllshire during the first millennium BC.
