Stone Fort or Dun in Highlands
Dun Ban, the remains of a vitrified fort on a cliff-girt peninsula, is pear-shaped on plan and measures c. 74.0m. NNW to SSE by c. 49.0m transversely within a heavily vitrified wall. Except in the NW, where it cannot be traced, the wall is visible around the cliff top as a turf-covered scarp from which numerous lumps of vitrified rock protrude. The entrance is not evident but may have been in the S at the easiest approach. Here a few earth-fast stones, probably the base course of the outer face, are visible. No wall thickness can be ascertained. The interior is featureless.
