Description

Kilpatrick Dun is an Iron Age dun, located about 1 mile south of the village of Blackwaterfoot on the Isle of Arran in Scotland .

Kilpatrick Dun is situated on level ground on a northwesterly hill-slope. It can be reached via a short walk from a small car park. The site is not well understood. In the past it has been proposed that it was a Bronze Age burial cairn or the site of an early Christian monastery. However, it is now generally thought that the site was a fortified residence, or dun, of a type common across the western Scotland in the later Iron Age. A similar structure can be seen at the Torr a'Chaisteal dun 2+1⁄2 mi to the south.
