Kettlehill Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Stirlingshire, Scotland. The site comprises the remains of a dun, a characteristically Scottish form of stone-built, usually circular or oval defensive structure that typically dates to the Iron Age period. Like other duns of its class, Kettlehill would have served as a stronghold for a local elite family or community, providing both domestic accommodation and defensive capability. The monument's precise chronology and architectural details remain subjects of archaeological interest within the broader study of Iron Age settlement patterns in central Scotland.
