This circular dun with outwork and secondary enclosure is located on a rocky point near the eastern coast of the Isle of Lismore. The wall of the dun is visible as a bank of rubble. The interior is heavily overgrown (at least it was during my February 2023 visit) and featureless. Below the dun there are remains of an outwork with stretch of a wall surviving up to 1.2m of height.
