Dunearn, Iron Age fortification in Highland, Scotland
The stone fort extends 245 meters along a hilltop, featuring two parallel defensive walls that follow the natural contours of the summit plateau.
The inner rampart contains evidence of vitrification, suggesting intense heat exposure, while farming activities continued at the site until 1906.
The name derives from Scottish Gaelic 'Dùn Éireann', translating to 'Hill fort on the Findhorn', referencing its location near the river.
The fort stands at 266 meters above sea level, offering clear views across the Findhorn Valley and the pass of Streens to the west.
During World War II, the military established an artillery position at this ancient fortification, adding a modern chapter to its defensive history.
