Dun in Cowal. This impressive dun is located on the summit of a hill which offers extensive views, including towards Loch Fyne. The dun measures 24 x 17m internally, the entrance is located in its western part. The wall is about 3m thick and is clearly distinguishable on most of the dun's perimeter. There are possible remains of a gallery or cell south of the entrance.

Canmore entry.
