NR25NE 7 2916 5544.
NR 292 554 ?Dun: There are traces of interrupted turf and stone walling, on top of a cliff about 25ft high, N of the mouth of the River Laggan.
I D Shanks 1973
At NR 2917 5544, on the summit of Cnoc Ebric, a cliff-girt headland, are the severly depleted remains of a fort. It is best-preserved in the N arc at either side of an entrance gap centrally placed at the only feasible means of approach; here the turf-covered wall is spread to a width of 4.5m, and survives to 1.0m maximum height, with one or two outer facing stones protruding. In the S is an arc of rubble stones which may be the remains of the wall of the fort, suggesting an internal size of about 28.0m N-S by 17.0m E-W, or possibly it is clearance from the later cultivation within the fort. Elsewhere the wall material is visible only intermittently.
Surveyed at 1:10 000.
