Kilchrist Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located approximately 450 metres south-east of Kilchrist in Argyllshire, Scotland. The site represents a typical dun of the Scottish Iron Age, a period characterised by the construction of small stone-built fortified homesteads serving as both defensive structures and status symbols for local communities. The monument's physical remains reflect the domestic and defensive architecture of its era, demonstrating the settlement patterns and building practices of Iron Age populations in western Scotland. Such duns were strategically positioned within the landscape and typically housed single families or small groups, representing an important phase in the archaeological record of Argyll prior to the arrival of the Scots and the establishment of medieval settlement patterns.
