Dun Mor, Garrabost is an Iron Age dun situated in Ross-shire, Scotland, representing a form of fortified domestic settlement characteristic of the Atlantic Scottish Iron Age. The monument consists of a stone-built circular or oval structure with substantial defensive walls, typical of duns constructed during the first millennium before the Common Era. Located in Garrabost, the site reflects the settlement patterns and architectural traditions of Iron Age communities in the north of Scotland, where such duns served as defended homesteads for elite or high-status families. The survival of the stone structure provides archaeological evidence for understanding domestic life, social organisation, and fortification strategies in the Scottish Highlands during this period.
