Dun Neil is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately 100 metres north-east of the primary Dun Neil structure. The site comprises a dun, a form of small stone-built defensive dwelling characteristic of Iron Age communities in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Such structures typically featured thick dry-stone walls and served as residences for elite or high-status families, providing both domestic accommodation and protection. The Iron Age occupation of this region reflects the settlement patterns and social hierarchies of pre-Roman Scotland, with duns representing an important class of archaeological monument from roughly the first millennium BCE onwards.
