Dun Scriben is a Iron Age fort located in Inverness-shire, Scotland. The site consists of a fortified settlement typical of the Iron Age period in northern Britain, featuring defensive earthwork structures characteristic of contemporary Scottish hill forts. Like other duns of this region and era, it would have served as a residence for a community of higher status and provided defensive capability during a period of considerable social stratification in Iron Age society. The fort's archaeological significance lies in its contribution to understanding settlement patterns and defensive architecture in the Scottish Highlands during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
