…on the summit of Rudha Shilldinish, a peninsula connected to the land to the NW by a very narrow neck of land and rising about 30ft above sea level, are the merest fragments of a dun. The site covers an area about 100 yards in length from E to W and 80 yards in breadth and is well adapted for defence, the sides being precipitous except towards the NW. For a short distance along the southern flank, on the edge of the cliff, a mound of stones about 8ft in width and rising 1ft above the interior with a single course of the outer facing in position is all that remains of the defences. The interior of the dun has been under cultivation in late times and the foundations of a homestead are still in evidence.'
