Creag A' Chaisteal RCAHMS NMRS no. NM34NE 12 at NM35874957 which says that the marks on all four boulders are natural.
The fort NM34NE 1 of the same name at NM35864959 probably started off as a promontory fort because the wall was older than the 2 phases of the SW entrance (this wall is now gone), the SE entrance was paved.. No longer there is a hut circle on the rocky boss - the excavators in 1964 thought there could be more of these but didn't find any.
