Slagachorrie dun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Nairnshire, Scotland, situated approximately 835 metres north-west of Slagachorrie itself. The monument represents a typical example of the dun class of Iron Age defensive structures found throughout northern Scotland, characterised by stone-built circular or oval enclosures. Such sites are generally dated to the later prehistoric period, spanning roughly the first millennium BCE through to the early centuries CE, and would have served as fortified residences for local populations during this era. The dun's construction and layout reflect the defensive requirements and social organisation of Iron Age communities in the Highlands and Northern Isles region.
