Loch Hunder Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located south of Lochmaddy in North Uist, Inverness-shire. The site comprises a dun, a distinctive form of Iron Age defensive structure characteristic of the Scottish Highlands and Islands, constructed from stone and positioned to command views across the surrounding landscape. Such duns typically date to the Iron Age period, though precise chronological attribution for individual examples often remains uncertain without excavation. The monument's location on North Uist reflects the distribution of Iron Age settlement patterns across the Hebridean islands during the first millennium BC.
