Dun Mor Vaul (or simply Dun Mor; (スコットランド・ゲール語:Dùn Mòr)) is an iron-age broch located on the north coast of the island of Tiree, in Scotland. ==Description== Dun Mor () is situated on a rocky knoll on the northern coast of island of Tiree, about 1 kilometre northwest of the hamlet of Vaul. The broch consists of a drystone tower with an internal diameter of 9.2 metres with walls about 4.5 metres thick. The outer face of the wall survives to a maximum height of 2.2 metres. The entrance is on the southeast side.〔 On the north side of the entrance passage is a small side-chamber, of a type usually called a "guard cell".〔 The intramural cavity is well-preserved, and there are the remains of a staircase, which led to the upper levels, on the north side.〔 The broch was additionally protected by two outer lines of defence, one drawn round the irregular margin of the summit on all sides, and the other taking the form of a hornwork which restricted access from the landward side of the knoll.〔
