418. Dun (site of), Gro Ghot, Usinish.
On the hillside about 600 yards south-west of the summit of Beinn Ghot, on the Usinish peninsula, on the eastern shore of South Uist, at a place named Gro Ghot, at an elevation of about 150 feet above sea-level, is an irregular mound of stones about 30 feet in diameter, with the ruins of an old house in the centre. This is marked as the site of a dun on the OS map (South Uist li), but no building can now be detected to indicate that it was originally a defensive structure.
