OS 1:10,000 map, (1975)
On the SW end of an isolated, rocky ridge west of Duntanachan farmhouse, there are the last vestiges of a roughly circular dun, measuring about 15 metres overall. The wall, almost completely obliterated by stone-robbing, now appears as a low band of spread core material, 2.4 metres wide in which only one outer facing stone is visible on the SW. The dun has been entered from the NE where there is a narrow gap in the wall debris and relatively easy access to be gained along the spine of the ridge.
