Dun Fhinn is a group of ancient hut circles located 410 metres south-east of Islay in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of circular stone structures typical of prehistoric domestic settlements, evidencing human habitation during the early medieval or Iron Age period. These hut circles represent the foundation remains of roundhouses, a common dwelling form across Scotland during antiquity, constructed from stone footings that once supported timber-framed superstructures. The archaeological significance of the site lies in its contribution to understanding the patterns of settlement and domestic life in the Hebridean islands during the pre-Christian era.
