Description
The dun is situated on a small hill which is protected by steep slopes on all sides except one side above marshy ground. It measures about 11.5m in diameter. The best preserved part of the wall stands 1.8m high (twelve courses) and appears to have been 2.5m thick on average (the inner face is now hidden). The entrance has been damaged by the construction of a 19th c. herdsman's bothy and another relatively recent stone building lies on part of the wall.
