Dunagoil
Vitrified fort or dun on the Isle of Bute, Scotland
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dunagoil is a vitrified fort or dun on the Isle of Bute – an Iron Age hill fort whose ramparts have been melted by intense heat. It stands on a volcanic headland and gives its name to the bay that it overlooks. Like other places, such as Donegal, its name is from the Gaelic dún na gall – fort of the foreigners.[1][2]
