Dun Bhoraraic is a Iron Age dun situated east-north-east of Lossit Farm in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument represents a form of fortified domestic settlement characteristic of the Scottish Iron Age, typically comprising a stone-built circular or oval structure with defensive properties suited to the regional topography and settlement patterns of the period. Such duns served as high-status residences and provided protection for their inhabitants and livestock during the later prehistoric period. The site remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement and social organisation in the Hebridean and west coast regions of Scotland.
