It was subcircular,the wall thickness was uneven and not more than 3.5m. Thelocation of this site was typical of that of a dun. A secondary drystonestructure inside the dun, measuring 10m by 4.6m internally, must havebeen a fortified structure as it has a rather small entrance and theentrance walls are 2.5m thick. Traces of a small building can be seenbetween the southeast wall of the internal structure and the inner wallof the dun. Two stock enclosures are adjoined to the outside wall of thedun. A causeway 3m wide connects the dun to Eilean na Michomhairle.Another causeway, from Eilean na Mi-chomhairle to thesouth shore of the loch, is much smaller and more typical of thoseassociated with duns.
