Dun Deardail is an iron age Fort of which only the shape remains on top of the hill. Nobody knows when the last residents left, but they did leave because of a fire.
While the views from the Fort are pretty and include a fantastic view of Ben Nevis, the walk up to the Fort from Braveheart Parking is mainly disability friendly Forestry Road and only the last 600m are woodland and open hillside. We'll worth a stop though if you are doing the West Highland Way which passes the Fort.

Dun Deardail - A Desirable Residence in Glen Nevis
We think Dun Deardail fort was built around 2000 years ago. It may have been occupied or rebuilt on several occasions through time - from Celtic fort to Pictish citadel.
Imagine the people who lived here, their colourful flags and banners proclaiming the power of the tribe to which they belonged. The fort dominates the glen - a natural stronghold with amazing view.
