Dun Ronachain is a Iron Age dun located 400 metres north-east of Ronachan House in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument represents a form of fortified domestic settlement characteristic of the Iron Age period in the Scottish Highlands and islands, where such structures served as defended homesteads for local élites and their households. The dun's physical remains reflect the typical construction methods of its era, comprising stone-built defensive walls positioned to command the surrounding landscape. This site contributes to the archaeological understanding of settlement patterns and social organisation in prehistoric Argyll.
