Dunan Muasdale is a Iron Age dun located in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument consists of a defensive stone-built structure typical of the dun type, which served as a fortified residence for a elite family or small community during the Iron Age period. Its construction methods and architectural form reflect the defensive priorities and social organisation of Iron Age Atlantic Scotland, when such strongholds provided both domestic accommodation and protection against raids. The site remains an important archaeological record of Iron Age settlement patterns and elite habitation in the western Scottish Highlands.
