Dun Mara is a Iron Age dun situated in Ross-shire, Scotland. The monument consists of the remains of a stone-built defensive structure characteristic of the dun class of fortification that flourished in northern Britain during the Iron Age and early historic periods. Such structures typically comprised one or more circular or oval stone-walled enclosures, often positioned on elevated or naturally defensible locations. Dun Mara represents the archaeological evidence of settlement and territorial control in the Scottish Highlands during the later prehistoric and early medieval period, reflecting patterns of social organisation and defence among the communities of the far north.
