Easter Rarichie fort and dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Ross-shire, in the northern Highlands of Scotland. The site comprises a fort and dun positioned approximately 600 metres south of Easter Rarichie, representing a form of defensive or high-status settlement characteristic of the Iron Age period. Such dual structures suggest occupation by a community of some social standing, with the fort and dun potentially serving complementary defensive or domestic functions typical of Iron Age aristocratic settlement patterns in northern Scotland.
