Dun Raouill is a Iron Age dun situated on the shores of Loch Druidibeg in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The structure comprises a defensive fortification typical of the Iron Age period, featuring a stone-built circular or sub-circular enclosure characteristic of dun architecture in the Scottish Highlands. Such duns served as strongholds for local chieftains and their retinues during the Iron Age and early medieval periods, providing protection and demonstrating the elevated status of their inhabitants. The site's location on the loch would have offered strategic advantages for surveillance and access to freshwater resources and fish stocks.
