Dún, Dùn, Dún-. The Irish and Scottish Gaelic word for fortress, fortified place, royal residence, castle, etc., appears as a part of many place-names, sometimes as a separate word, e.g. Dún Scaith, and sometimes joined, especially when anglicized, e.g. Dundalk. Dún, Dùn, Dún- entries are thus alphabetized letter by letter instead of word by word. Cognate with the Continental Celtic -dunum, which is usually compounded in final position.
