SolarMegalith visited on 29th Apr 2013 - their rating: Cond: 2 Amb: 5 Access: 3 Difficult to access, but the panoramic view is rewarding.
This heavily damaged dun is located on the ridge of a massif. The outline of the walls is barely distinguishable, but it is probable that the entrance was located at the north. The dun has approximately 14 x 11m dimensions.
