Easter Rarichie Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Ross-shire, Scotland, approximately 650 metres south-west of Easter Rarichie. The monument consists of a dun, a distinctive form of small stone-built fort characteristic of the Iron Age in northern Scotland, constructed with substantial stone walls designed to enclose and protect a domestic settlement. The site reflects the settlement patterns and defensive architecture typical of Iron Age communities in the Scottish Highlands, representing an important example of local fortification practices during this period.
