Dun (probable), Torr nam Fiann: A rocky knoll on the north- westernmost of the twin summits of Torr nam Fiann (67m OD) about 200m N of Killichronan farmhouse, is occupied by the last vestiges of what has probably been a dun. All that survives is an irregular band of grass-grown stony debris fringing the summit and defining a roughly circular area about 14m in diameter. No facing-stones can be seen, but there are quarry-scoops, indicating that large stones have been removed, round almost the entire perimeter. The summit may be approached with relative ease up grassy slopes from all sides, and the position of the entrance is not apparent. The interior is level and featureless.

RCAHMS 1980, visited 1974.

Scheduled as 'Torr nam Fiann, dun and medieval settlement remains... visible as upstanding remains. The remains of the deserted medieval or later settlement are situated on the terraces immediately below and E and W of the dun, at between 50m-60m OD. A small turf-built shieling is present on the rocky shelf immediately below and E of the dun. A second shieling of similar form and dimensions is located on the terrace immediately below, together with other later settlement remains. To the S of the lower shieling are the remains of a rectilinear enclosure.'
