This Ordnance Survey triangulation pillar is situated on the summit of Dùnan Mòr, a low hill immediately SSE of Cape Wrath. Square on plan with narrow chamfered corners, it measures about 0.6m square at the base and tapers to a flat top at a height of 1.1m, where there is a brass mounting plate and retaining hoops for a theodolite. A brass flush bracket on the side of the pillar bears the number S8756.
