Dun Hallin, Iron Age broch in Duirinish, Scotland.

The circular stone structure of Dun Hallin measures 10.8 meters in internal diameter with walls reaching up to 12 feet in height.

The broch was constructed during the Iron Age period between 550 BC and 560 AD, serving as a fortified residence for local inhabitants.

The architectural design of Dun Hallin demonstrates the advanced building techniques of Iron Age Scottish communities through its horizontal coursework and square block construction.

Visitors can access the site near Hallin village, approximately 800 meters from the Geary crossroads, with the entrance passage located on the southeastern side.

The structure contains internal oval cells flanking the entrance and features a preserved staircase within the wall thickness indicating multiple floor levels.
