Broch or Galleried Dun, Dunan Ruadh, Pabbay.
On the eastern shore of Pabbay, on the north side of the isthmus connecting the peninsula of Rosinish with the island, is a rocky peninsula rising from 10 to 15 feet above high-water mark, on which are situated the fragments of a fort, Dunan Ruadh. On the edge of the rocky bluff facing the land are the ruins of a curved wall, in the heart of which there has been a narrow gallery. Only a small portion of the south-western arc of the building remains, the other parts having been completely removed. The wall has been about 13 feet 6 inches thick, and while one or two courses remain in position on the outer face, the mound of stone stands about 7 feet in height. A small part of the inner wall of a gallery is traceable for a short distance.
