NR 205 620. A severely denuded dun occupies the summit of a low rocky knoll (9m OD) situated at the s end of Traigh Mhachair, immediately w of the old track leading from Kilchoman to Kilchiaran and approximately 1.5 km SW of Kilchoman Church (RCAHMS 1984, No. 366).
Roughly subrectangular on plan, it measures about 20m by 13m within a stone wall now reduced to little more than a grass-grown band of core material in which a few short stretches of outer facing-stones and a single stone of the inner face survive in position. The wall appears to have been about 3.5 m in average thickness, and there are no visible traces of the intramural gallery noted in a previous survey.' The entrance was probably situated on the E, where the scatter of debris is appreciably slighter. Apart from a small enclosure of relatively recent date in the SE portion, the interior is level and featureless.
