Description
Situated 250m W of Barnluasgan on top of a rocky ridge, which in recent times has been partly planted with trees, there are the remains of a dun and a substantial enclosure which overlies half its SW half.
The dun measures about 25m by 12m within a wall some 2m in thickness, which on the NW stands to a height of 0.8m in three courses; a modern boundary wall crosses its SW end. The wall has been severely robbed, and the only section that is at all well preserved is within thick forest cover on the SW. The position of the entrance is presumably indicated by the gap on the NE, where there is access along the spine of the ridge.
