Dun Creagach Island is a broch situated on an island in Loch Naver in Sutherland, northern Scotland, dating to the Iron Age. The structure represents one of the distinctive fortified roundhouses characteristic of Iron Age Scotland, built with the characteristic double-walled dry-stone construction typical of brochs. The site's island location would have provided defensive advantages and control over access to the loch. The broch remains an important archaeological example of Iron Age settlement patterns in the Scottish Highlands, though much of the original structure is now fragmentary.
