Archaeology Notes

NG35NE 24 3801 5862.

On a natural rocky platform about 400m south of Duncraig House and at a height of 30m OD are the slight remains of a small dun. The platform measures about 21m N-S by 11m E-W and the dun occupies the southern half of this measuring 11m by 7m. The dun wall, now mostly grass grown, is about 2m wide and survives to a height of 0.3m in places.
