Stone Fort or Dun in Isle of Mull
Dun, Dun Haunn: Situated in an exceptionally strong position on the SW end of a coastal promontory about 200m NNE of the headland known as Dun Haunn, there are the wasted remains of a dun and its outworks (see plan). The summit of the rocky boss occupied by the main work rises only 5.5m above the level of the promontory on the NE, but it is protected on all other sides by sheer or overhanging precipices 40m high.
The dun measures 10.5m by about 7.5m within a dry-stone wall drawn round the margin of the summit area. No trace of the wall survives on the W, where it has presumably collapsed over the edge of the cliff, but elsewhere it appears as a grass-grown band of stony debris, in which several stretches of outer facing-stones, but no stones of the inner face, can be seen. The site of the entrance is not absolutely certain, but it may be indicated by the slight depression in the wall core on the E, near the head of a natural inclined ramp that gives relatively easy access to the summit from the promontory.
