The Archaeology of Dun Deardail - An Iron Age hillfort in Glen Nevis

Dun Deardail - Derdriu's fort - sits high above Glen Nevis, overshadowed by Ben Nevis looming opposite. It was built in the middle of the first millennium BC, around 2500 years ago, and was eventually destroyed in a catastrophic fire. Recent archaeological excavation has shed light on the construction, occupation and destruction of the hillfort.
