(NG 3368 5408) Dun (NR)
OS 6"map, (1969)

A fort on a ridge named Meall an Duna. It is sub-rectangular on plan measuring internally approximately 30.0m N to S by 20.0m transversely within a robbed wall 3.6m thick, in the N, where both inner and outer facing stones survive intermittently, and traceable elsewhere only as a rickle of stones indicating the remains of the wall core. In the W a broken line of facing stones at the brink of the slope above the cliff seem more likely to be a stabilizing face rather than the outer wall face. The entrance is not evident. A ruinous modern wall crosses the fort from N to S.

This fort measures 28m from N to S by 18.3m transversely within a wall 4m in maximum thickness. The wall is best preserved on the N where it is about 1m high. There are traces of a stony bank running across the interior from N to S.
