Dunan Molach is a Iron Age dun situated approximately 115 metres south-east of Ardoran in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a univallate or bivallate stone-built defensive structure characteristic of Iron Age settlement practices in the Scottish Highlands and islands, likely dating to the last centuries before the Common Era. Such duns served as fortified residential centres for elite families or communities, combining domestic and defensive functions within their stone-walled enclosures. The site remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns and social organisation in the west of Scotland, though detailed excavation records for this particular dun are limited in the publicly available scholarly literature.
