Duntroon fort is an Iron Age fortified settlement located 140 metres north of Duntroon Lodge in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site consists of a fort constructed during the Iron Age period, when such defended enclosures were characteristic defensive and settlement structures across Scotland. The monument's physical form reflects the defensive architecture typical of Iron Age communities in western Scotland, with fortification works designed to protect inhabitants and their resources. As a surviving example of Iron Age settlement in Argyll, the site contributes to understanding the pattern of contemporary settlement and social organisation in the region during the pre-Roman Iron Age.
