Description The Highland Council Historic Environment Record describes this ruined dun as: "a mass of tumbled stone, sub-oval in shape measuring externally 89ft NW-SW and 48ft transversely. The thickness of the walling is indeterminate on the NW, but seems to be 18ft at the entrance and to vary from 15-23ft round the S arc, where one course only is traceable for a few yards. The entrance-passage is 4ft 10ins in width and is without checks. About 10ft from the entrance there is a cross-wall, only the ends of which remains projecting from the side walls."
