Kemp Law NS 3558 3364 NS33SE 3
This dun is situated on the steep-sided promontory that forms the ENE end of Kemp Law. It has been reduced to a massive mound of debris which stands within a larger walled enclosure measuring 25m ENE to WSW by 13.5m internally. The mound of debris which measures 17m from ENE to WSW by 10m transversely and stands up to 2.3m in height, contains considerable quantities of vitrifaction. The outer wall has been reduced to a band or rubble around the edges of the promontory, in places mixing up to 0.6m above the level of the interior; on the N the outer face survives to a height of 1.2m in four corners.
