Description
The remains of a dun situated on the summit of a rocky knoll near Ford. The original enclosed area was about 20m by 13m, a wall probably covering the NW, NE and SW sides. The wall is about 3m thick and on one well preserved section stands 1.1m high with some large outer facing-stones measuring up to 2.8m by 0.5m by 0,4m. The entrance lies on WNW where two large slabs, possibly part of an entrance passage have now been covered to make a shelter.
