Dun Ringill

Dun Ringill is an Iron Age hill fort on the Strathaird peninsula on the island of Skye, Scotland [1]. The original structure of Dun Ringill is consistent with an Iron Age broch dating to approximately the first years of the common era [1]. Dun Ringill today is a stacked stone ruin overlooking Loch Slapin [1]. The present structure is approximately 4 metres in height and 16 m on each side, with a ditch following the outer wall [1]. Its most notable feature is the central landward facing doorway approximately 1.8 m high that leads into the center of the structure [1]. The interior of the structure contained two rectangular buildings measuring 4.5 by 2.4 m [1]. The original layout was similar to that of a broch, a form of complex Atlantic roundhouse [1].
