Dun Skeig
Dun Skeig is an oval Iron Age dun complex which is perched atop a rocky outcropping about above sea level overlooking West Loch Tarbert in Kintyre, Argyll and Bute, Scotland, about northwest of the village of Clachan.
The dun site includes a collection of prehistoric buildings and evidence of human habitation. Most notable of the buildings on the site are a rocky Iron Age fort and a vitrified fort that has been grown over with ground vegetation. The Iron Age fort measures about in diameter with an outer wall of thick and has a single entrance.
The moderately challenging climb to the peak and the views of the surrounding landscape that the vantage point offers make it clear why the site was selected as a defensive position.
