Dun Boreraig, Loch Eishort.
On the north shore of Loch Eishort at Boreraig, some 1¾ miles east of Rudha Suisnish, on a small promontory rising about 40 feet above the sea level, are the very scanty remains of Dun Boreraig. Of the defences all that survives is a grass-covered, stony mound, which on the northern or landward side measures 13 feet broad, 6½ feet high on the inside and 3 feet on the outside, and which, though greatly reduced in size, can be traced a short distance along the eastern and western flanks. The enceinte, which is rectangular with rounded corners, measures 66 feet along the longer axis from north to south and 41 feet from east to west. The stones from this dun have doubtless been removed to build an adjoining township, long deserted.
RCAHMS 1928, visited 15 May 1914.
