In some areas they seem to have been built on any suitable cliff crag or hillock, particularly south of the Firth of Clyde and the Firth of Forth down across the border into Northumberland . D ns feature prominently along some coastal areas of the West of Ireland, particularly Co. Mayo and feature in legendary Celtic tales as the forts of the tribal kings of the tuatha . The tale of the T in B Flidhais features D ns of Flidais, Kilcommon Dun Chiort in and Cill Ghallag in D n Chaoch in . Duns, as forts, appear to have arrived with the Britons historical Brythonic Celt s in about the 7th century BC , associated with their Iron age culture of warrior tribes and petty chieftains. Early Duns had near vertical ramparts constructed of stone laced with timber, and where this was set on fire accidentally or on purpose it forms the vitrified fort s where stones have been partly melted, an effect that is still clearly visible. Use of Duns continued in some cases into the medieval period. Duns, as roundhouses, share many characteristics of brochs often including galleries and stairs , but are smaller and probably would not have been capable of supporting a very tall structure. Very good examples of this kind of dun can be found in the Western Isles of Scotland , on artificial islands in small lochs.

Dun Carloway was probably built some time in the 1st century BC, and radiocarbon dating evidence from remains found in the broch show that it was last occupied around 1300 AD . At the base the broch is around 14 to 15 metres in diameter and the walls around 3 metres thick. It has a circular plan and hollow walls and was built without mortar. It probably had wooden floors, internal partitions and a thatched roof, necessary to make it habitable, but the only remaining evidence of this are post holes. Together with the roof, the narrow passageway presumably secured by a wooden door, were the most vulnerable points of the building, especially to fire.
