Full Description
NG45SW 23 4086 5230.
On the coast about 350m W of Skerinish Quay are the remains of a small promontory dun. The dun lies on the top of a small rocky stack which measures 11m N-S by 10m E-W. An earth bank cuts off access from the landward side and there are traces of walling around the remainder of the platform. A possible rock-cut entrance leads down to the shore on the NW side. (Grid reference quoted falls below sea level: possibly NG c.408 519, some 350m SW of pier is intended.)
Visited by M A Nicolson 8 December 1990.
