(NF 8972 5520) A curved causeway, nearly 20 yards long, from the shore to the southern, and smaller, of two islets in Loch na Sruthan Beag, Ronay, is an indication of the former existence of a dun.
Source: E Beveridge 1911.
There is no evidence of a dun on this islet (which seems to be too small). No causeway can be seen, although a tumbled fragment of wall on the shore of the loch may have been confused for one.

Dun, Loch na Sruthan Beag, Ronay.
In the deep hollow on the south side of Beinnnan Druidhneach is the small loch named Loch na Sruthan Beag, some 20 yards from the southern shore of which is a small, oval, rocky island said to be the site of a dun. There seems to be a submerged causeway between the dun and the southern shore of the loch.
