Caisteal an Duin Bhain.
On the south-western point enclosing Port Mor, a stack rises 15 to 30 feet above the general level of the ground and has been adapted for occupation by the building of a wall round the edge of the summit. The wall, 7 to 9 feet thick, is built in places entirely of drystone and in other parts of sods stone faced. The area thus enclosed is irregular, roughly lozenge shaped, measuring 95 feet from north to south by 129 feet from east to west. A gap on the north-north-east indicates the entrance, the wall on either side being 7 and 9 feet thick. Towards the north-northwest are foundations of a house, oblong on plan, 12 feet broad within walls 5 feet in thickness, the length being indeterminate. A hollow at the southern angle may represent another structure. (Fig. 313.)
