OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 1st ed., (1880)

Promontory Fort, Dun Briste: A small promontory running westward into the Atlantic, with precipitous flanks, is defended by a stone wall, built across the landward end, which "measures about 75 feet in length, and varies from 5 to 10 feet in width. The remains consist of two rows of stone slabs set on edge on the outer and inner faces, the interior apparently having been filled in with stone and earth. The entrance is not distinguishable. Abutting on the inside of the wall are several hut circles of stone, of which the best preserved lies behind the southern end of the wall and measures about 12 feet in diameter internally"
