Middleton Dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located approximately 240 metres west-north-west of Middleton in Perthshire, Scotland. The monument comprises a dun, a type of small stone-built fort characteristic of Iron Age defensive architecture in Scotland, constructed with dry-stone or mortared walls to enclose and protect a domestic settlement. Such duns typically date to the later Iron Age, roughly between the first century BC and the first few centuries AD, though occupation may have extended into the early medieval period. The site represents an important example of the fortified domestic architecture that characterised elite or family-based settlement patterns in Iron Age Scotland, reflecting the social hierarchies and security concerns of pre-Roman and Romano-British northern Britain.
