Dunan an t-Seasgain is an Iron Age dun situated on the island of Gigha in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a stone-built defensive structure characteristic of the Iron Age period, when such fortified enclosures served as high-status residences and places of refuge in Atlantic Scotland. Located 465 metres west-north-west of Drumyeonmore Farm, the dun represents the archaeological evidence of early settlement and territorial control on the Hebridean islands during the pre-Roman Iron Age and potentially into the Early Historic period. The site remains an important example of Iron Age dun architecture in the western Scottish seaboard region.
