Scope and Content View of the gateway at Dunadd, Argyll and Bute The fort at Dunadd occupies a rocky crag rising steeply from the surrounding valley floor, once protected on nearly all sides by marshland. Dunadd was the capital of the Dalriadic Scots. A natural cleft in the rock, some 3m thick, forms the main entrance into the fort. Thick wooden gates would have barred the entrance, with stone ramparts on either side. Finds from the excavations indicate that high quality metal working was being carried out at Dunadd. Fragments of several hundred crucible moulds to cast bronze jewellery have been recovered. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
