Dundurn, Prehistoric contour fort in Comrie, Scotland.

The fort structure occupies St Fillan's Hill between the River Earn and Allt Ghoinean burn, featuring multiple levels of defensive fortifications across the slopes.

Archaeological excavations at Dundurn have uncovered three distinct phases of fortification construction, dating from 500 to 800 AD during the Pictish period.

The fort stands as a testament to Pictish architectural methods, revealing their sophisticated understanding of defensive positions and construction techniques.

The scheduled monument designation requires visitors to follow specific preservation guidelines while exploring the archaeological remains at coordinates 56.384, -4.09409.
