Dun Garbhlaich is a vitrified Iron Age fort located near Kilmorack in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site consists of stone fortification walls that have been subjected to intense heat, a process known as vitrification, which fused the stonework into a glassy mass. This defensive structure dates to the Iron Age and represents an important example of the hillforts that characterised settlement and territorial control in northern Britain during this period. The fort's vitrified remains provide archaeological evidence of either defensive warfare or the deliberate destruction of the stronghold in antiquity.
