Dun Torvaig, a dun with outworks on a rocky knoll.
Remains of an oval dun of 28 x 18m dimensions are located on a rocky knoll offering view towards the coast. Remains of the entrance with both inner wall-faces still traceable. The western approach to the dun is partly blocked by remains of outworks.
