Gallanach Beg Dun is a fortified Iron Age settlement located in Argyllshire, Scotland, situated approximately thirty metres north of Gallanach Beg itself. The structure represents a characteristic example of the dun typology prevalent in western Scotland during the Iron Age, consisting of a stone-built defensive enclosure designed to provide protection and demonstrate status within the contemporary settlement hierarchy. The monument's construction and occupation patterns reflect the broader patterns of fortified homestead development in Argyll during this period, contributing to understanding of Iron Age settlement strategies and social organisation in the western Highlands.
