Dun an Sticir is an Iron Age broch situated approximately 9.5 kilometers north of Lochmaddy in a lake on North Uist in the Scottish Outer Hebrides. A building was erected on the site in the late-medieval period. ==Name and location== Dun an Sticir () is located on a small island in Loch an Sticir on the east side of the B893 road, 0.8 kilometers south of Newtonferry.〔M. Coventry (2006), ''The Castles of Scotland'', p. 266. Fourth Edition, Birlinn Limited. ISBN 1-84158-449-5〕 The name is also spelled ''Dun an Sticer'' and ''Dun an Sticar''.〔 The island, on which the broch stands, is connected via a causeway to another larger island called Eilean na Mi-Chomhairle (Council Isle). This larger island is connected via two causeways to the mainland. Dun an Sticir is freely accessible. At high tide, the causeways may be partially submerged. The name ''Dun an Sticir'' is derived from "dun", which means "fortress", and "sticir" which means "skulker". Thus ''Dun an Sticir'' means Fort Skulker. Only in the second half of the twentieth century did it become clear that the structure was a broch.〔I. Armit (2003), ''Towers in the North - The Brochs of Scotland'', pp. 138-139.
