NR 679 080 On the tip of a small promontory overlooking Dunaverty Bay, 180m S of High Keil farmhouse and at a height of 30m OD, there are the slight remains of what was probably a circular dun measuring internally about 15m in diameter. On the N and E the wall is represented by a curved stony bank measuring 0.6m in height and 9m in thickness, but on the W and S erosion of the promontory has removed all traces of the wall except for a few large boulders.
