Dun Deardail is a pair of Iron Age forts located in Inverness-shire, Scotland, situated approximately 410 metres and 520 metres east-north-east of Fasnagruig. The two fortifications represent a significant example of prehistoric defensive settlement in the Scottish Highlands, typical of the Iron Age period when such dun-type structures were constructed throughout northern Scotland. The sites are characterized by their fortified enclosures, which would have served both defensive and settlement functions for the communities occupying them. These monuments reflect the social organization and territorial control exercised by Iron Age populations in the region, and their dual configuration suggests either sequential occupation or the coexistence of related settlements.
