Dun Chruban is a Iron Age dun located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument consists of the remains of a defensive stone structure characteristic of the Iron Age occupation of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, with evidence of the robust drystone construction typical of such fortified settlements. The site dates to the Iron Age period, when such duns served as fortified residences for elite families and functioned as centres of local authority and defence within their communities.
