Dun Cuilein is a Iron Age dun situated approximately 210 metres south-west of Frackersaig in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument represents a defensive or residential structure typical of the Iron Age period in western Scotland, when such enclosed homesteads served as strongholds for local communities. The dun's physical remains reflect the stone construction methods characteristic of Iron Age fortified settlements in this region, which often incorporated substantial dry-stone walling to create defensible domestic spaces. Such structures provide important archaeological evidence for understanding settlement patterns, social organisation, and material culture during the Iron Age in the Hebridean and west Highland zones.
