Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Coord Шаблон:Infobox ancient site Dun Vulan Broch (Scottish Gaelic: 'Dùn Mhùlan' or 'Dùn Mhaoilinn') is an Iron Age broch in South Uist, Scotland.
Location
Dun Vulan is located in South Uist.[1] The site is now situated on an exposed promontory but was originally on a freshwater lake.[1]
Description
Dun Vulan is an Iron Age (c. 150–50 BC) broch located on the southern edge of the promontory; it is now protected as a sea wall.[1] Excavations revealed an oval-shaped broch with a maximum diameter of 19.5 metres, with walls surviving to 4.5 metres in height and 4 metres in width.
History
Between June 1991 and July 1996 Dun Vulan was excavated as part of the SEARCH (Sheffield Environmental and Archaeological Research Campaign in the Hebrides) Project.[2] The excavations suggested that there were no earlier structures predating the main structure on site.[3]
