NG 7012 1065 Dun Ban (NR)
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1903)
The site of Dun Ban is a flat-topped rock rising some 40 ft above the sea and 25 ft above the neck joining it to the mainland. The summit, an irregular oval, measuring about 60 ft in length along its main axis, ENE-WSW, and some 30 ft in breadth, has been surrounded by a drystone wall on the edge of the rock. It can be traced for the greater part of the circumference except at the NE extremity. The name Dun Ban (white fort) is accounted for by the rock being partly composed of white quartz.
RCAHMS 1928.
