Dun Mhuirageul is a Iron Age dun situated southeast of Taynuilt in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site represents a form of fortified domestic settlement characteristic of the Iron Age in the Scottish Highlands, comprising a stone-built circular or sub-circular structure typical of such defensive homesteads. The dun would have served as a residence for a family or small community, with its substantial stone walls providing both protection and status within the local settlement hierarchy of the period. Such monuments are distributed throughout the Highlands and Islands and remain significant evidence for Iron Age settlement patterns and social organisation in Scotland.
