NR36NE 15 3576 6789.

(NR 3576 6790) Dun Chollapus (NR) (Fort) (NR)

OS 6" map, Argyllshire, 2nd ed., (1900)

On a rocky knoll is sparse traces of a sub-oval dun measuring internally an estimated 13.0m, WNW-ESE, by 11.0m. All that remains is a thin, grass overgrown spread of rubble core following the margin of the level summit area. Much of the stone of the wall is presumably in a nearby dyke. An entrance approach may have been up a slight defile in the east now partly filled with debris.

Surveyed at 1:10 00

Visited by OS (J M) 3 June 1978.
