The fort was situated on a hill with the River Earn to one side and the Allt Ghoinean burn to another. Excavations have identified three stages of fortification between 500 and 800 AD.[1][2]
The fort at Dundurn (or Dún Duirn) is mentioned twice in the Annals of Ulster, firstly relating to a siege in 683 AD,[3] at which time it was held by King Bridei III,[4] and secondly as the location of the death of a King Giric (King Gregory) in 889 AD.[5]
It is a designated scheduled monument.[6]
