Stone Fort or Dun in Highlands
There is little doubt that this is the site of a thoroughly robbed dun (or possibly even a broch). The roughly circular level summit of the knoll, c. 10.5m in diameter, probably represents the original internal area whilst around its edge on the slope are patches of rubble which may represent the last traces of a robbed and quarried wall.
There are traces in the SE and NW of an outwork surrounding the dun at a distance varying between 4.0m and 8.0m from it. It is now best reserved in the NW as a short stretch of stony bank spread to 2.5m.
