Dun, South Clettraval.

About 400 yards south-east of the summit of South Clettraval, at

an elevation of about 400 feet above sea-level, are the ruins of a circular dun measuring 27 feet in diameter internally, with the wall showing a thickness of 8 feet on the west. The inner face of the wall is traceable for a considerable part of the circumference, one or two courses of building remaining in situ in places. Towards the west-south-west is an oval chamber, 7 feet in length and 4 feet 6 inches at its greatest width, built transversely in the thickness of the wall. It is impossible to say if this was the entrance, as the outer part of the wall is here broken, and it is built up on the inside.
