Full Description
NG47SE 7 463 721.
The remains of a small dun occupy the top of a crag overlooking Dun Flodigarry. It is sub-rectangular in plan, approximately 25.5m by 15.5m; the highest surviving walling consists of four courses of large stones, about 2m high. Several internal features are visible, including what appears to be an entrance to a mural cell. A plan will be lodged with the NMRS. Sponsors: Earthwatch, Leicester University Archaeology Dept.
R Martlew 1982.
A watching brief to the west of this site, at the foot of the slope, identified no archaeological features or finds. This was surprising as it was anticipated that a scatter of midden material could be present on the slopes below the dun. <1>
