(Area : NF 808 646) The remains of an 'island-fort' have been found in Loch nan Struban near Clachan-a-gluip. It is connected to the shore of the loch by a causeway. The outer wall is 4ft thick on the west but, at other points is hardly traceable. The dun measures about 33 by 37ft.
E Beveridge 1911.
The site was located at NF 8075 6450. The entire island is enclosed by the remains of a rubble wall but there is nothing to indicate a 'fort' or dun.
Traces of a causeway, mostly underwater, can be seen between the south side of the island and the shore of the loch.
Visited by OS (W D J) 11 June 1965.
