Full Description
NH25SE 3 2866 5343.
Dun (NR) OS 25"map, 1970
On a rocky spur on SE slopes of Creag Ruadh is a dun, oval on plan, measuring c19m E to W by c7m transversely within a ruined stone wall. The outer wall face, maximum height 1.1m (7 courses) in SW, is visible intermittently all round. The inner wall face can be seen extending northwards from entrance in W giving a wall thickness here of 5.5m. No other inner wall facing stones are evident but elsewhere wall appears to have been between about 3.5m and 4.0m thick. N side of entrance passage survives to a height of two courses, but S side has tumbled over crag. There are indications of a possible stabilising wall in N and also in E, where amidst tumble is a well built wall face of small stones, 0.5m high (7 courses) and 1m long. The interior is featureless.
