Dun Mor a' Chaolais is a broch situated on the island of Tiree in Argyll and Bute, Scotland, dating to the Iron Age. The monument comprises the remains of a circular stone-built defensive tower, a characteristic form of fortification found throughout northern Britain during the Iron Age period. The site is associated with a cup-marked rock, indicating habitation or ritual activity extending beyond the primary broch structure itself. The broch's location on Tiree reflects the strategic importance of the Hebridean islands during the Iron Age, when such structures served defensive and possibly communal functions for local populations.
