Killellan dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located 325 metres east of Killellan Lodge in Argyllshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a dun, a characteristic defended farmstead of the Iron Age period common to western Scotland, which would have served as a residence for a person of some status and their dependants. The site's construction and occupation belong to the Iron Age, a period when such fortified homesteads represented important nodes of power and settlement in the Scottish Highlands and Islands. Like other duns of this era, it reflects the social hierarchies and defensive requirements of Iron Age Highland society.
