Dùn Èistean is a multi-period archaeological site on an inter-tidal sea stack on the north east coast of the Isle of Lewis, near the village of Knockaird (Cnoc Àrd, Nis) in the area of Nis (Ness) in the Western Isles of Scotland. It is accorded the status of traditional stronghold of Clan Morrison, once a highly powerful family within the Lordship of the Isles, in local oral tradition. The ruins of two large buildings and groups of interconnecting cellular structures can be seen amongst the grassy tussocks on the top of the island, as well as an artificial pond and a low turf wall enclosing the site. The most prominent feature of the site is a large circular mound of rubble situated on the highest point of the stack, on the north east side of the site. The topographical survey of the site

has abstract	Dùn Èistean (schottisch-gälisch Dùn Othail) ist ein mehrperiodisch genutztes Dun auf einem mit einer Brücke verbundenen Stack in der Nähe von Knockaird (schottisch-gälisch Cnoc Àrd) in der Region (schottisch-gälisch Port Nis) an der Nordostküste der Insel Lewis der Äußeren Hebriden in Schottland. Die Ruinen zweier großer Gebäude und Gruppen miteinander verbundener zellenartiger Strukturen sind zwischen den grasbewachsenen Hügeln, dem Teich und einer niedrigen Rasenmauer zu sehen, die das Gelände umschließt. Das auffälligste Merkmal ist der große runde Trümmerhaufen eines Brochs am höchsten Punkt des Stacks an der Nordostseite. Die Insel besitzt alles Notwendige für eine Nutzung, sogar eine Trinkwasserversorgung in Form eines künstlichen Teiches. Nach der Überlieferung ist Dùn Èistean eine traditionelle Hochburg des Clan Morrison – vom 15. bis 17. Jahrhundert eine sehr mächtige Familie innerhalb der Lordschaft der Inseln. An der Küste von Lewis und den westlichen Inseln gibt es eine Reihe ähnlicher Orte wie Dùn Èistean. Es gibt dort Belege für Aktivitäten in der Eisenzeit oder in früheren Perioden. Wahrscheinlich warten unterhalb der späteren Gebäude ähnliche Belege auch in Dùn Èistean auf ihre Entdeckung. In der Nähe stehen die .

The topographical survey of the site shows these buildings. The island would have provided all that was needed for occupation, having its own fresh water supply in the form of the artificial pond, and numerous buildings serving an array of purposes, from storage to sleeping quarters.
