Description
This dun is situated on a knoll in a forestry plantation, immediately N of the track from Kilmartin to Ormaig and E of a disused quarry. Stone robbing has reduced the wall to little more than a band of core material about 2.5m thick, which encloses an area measuring 11m by 9.5m; a short stretch of the outer face remains in position on the SW. The entrance lay either on the NE or E, where the rubble is reduced in height. A terrace on the NE may have been enclosed by an outwork. In the interior, an arc of recent walling abuts the dun wall on the SW.
