Dun Mor is a Iron Age fort located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site consists of a fortified enclosure characteristic of the Iron Age period in the Scottish Highlands, constructed with stone defences that exemplify the settlement patterns of the region during the later prehistoric era. The fort's substantial defensive works reflect the strategic importance of controlling territory in this area during the Iron Age, a period spanning roughly from the 8th century BC to the Roman period. Such duns and forts served as centres of authority and refuge for local communities, with their construction and maintenance indicating organised social structures and resource investment by Iron Age societies in northern Scotland.
