Dunnicaer, or Dun-na-caer, is a precipitous sea stack just off the coast of Aberdeenshire, Scotland, between Dunnottar Castle and Stonehaven. Despite the unusual difficulty of access, in 1832 Pictish symbol stones were found on the summit and 21st-century archaeology has discovered evidence of a Pictish hill fort which may have incorporated the stones in its structure. The stones may have been incised in the third or fourth centuries AD but this goes against the general archaeological view that the simplest and earliest (Class I) symbol stones date from the fifth or even seventh century AD.

  • Dunnicaer Hillfort (auch Dun-Na-Caer, Dunncaer, Dinnacair oder Stonehaven genannt) ist ein Promontory Fort an der schottischen Kliffküste, nahe dem Hafen von Stonehaven in Aberdeenshire. Der Zugang ist äußerst gefährlich. Der etwa 20 m hohe, isolierte Felsen von Dunnicaer, ein etwa 700 m nördlich vom ehemaligen Promontory Fort und der späteren Burgruine von Dunnottar Castle befindlicher Stack, scheint ehemals besiedelt gewesen zu sein. Der etwa 20 × 12 m messende Gipfel ist von Rasen bedeckt, und obwohl es lose Steine um die Ränder gibt, sind keine Siedlungsspuren erkennbar. (de)
