The Dun, fort 400m ESE of Tyndun is an Iron Age fortified settlement located in Perthshire, Scotland. The site comprises a univallate or multivallate enclosure typical of Iron Age defensive architecture in the Scottish Highlands, with earthwork defences that would have enclosed domestic and communal structures. Such forts served as centres of settlement, storage, and refuge during the Iron Age period, roughly spanning from the 8th century BC to the Roman period. The monument's survival as an archaeological landscape feature provides evidence of Iron Age settlement patterns and defensive strategies in the Perthshire region.
