NF83SE 1 8579 3436.

(NF 8579 3436) Gro Got (Site of) (NAT) Dun (NR)

OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)

An irregular mound of stones, about 30ft in diameter, with the ruins of an old house in the centre, is situated at a place called Gro Ghot. In 1915 there were insufficient remains to indicate that it was originally a defensive structure.

RCAHMS 1928.

Above confirmed. The rubble mound, 1.5m high, lies in a poordefensive position at the foot of a steep slope and in a slight hollow. There are little or no 'dun like' characteristics, the feature resembling a cairn rather than a dun.

Surveyed at 1:10560.

There is a small rubble-walled shieling structure about 15.0m SW of the mound.

Visited by OS (J T T) 14 May 1965.
