Dun Fiadhairt, Archaeological site on the Isle of Skye, Scotland
The circular stone structure of Dun Fiadhairt measures 31 feet in internal diameter with walls reaching 12 feet in thickness.
Archaeological excavations conducted in 1914 revealed numerous artifacts dating back to the Early Iron Age period between 550 BC and 1 AD.
The architectural design of Dun Fiadhairt features hollow stone walls with intra-mural passages, demonstrating advanced construction techniques of Iron Age communities.
Located on a steep rocky knoll, the site maintains Protected Status as a Scheduled Monument and requires careful navigation during exploration.
The excavation uncovered an amber necklace, glass beads, and a terracotta model indicating trade connections with distant communities during the 2nd century AD.
