Loch an Dun
Stone Fort / Dun

This site is in Loch an Dun, near Lower Bayble on the Eye Peninsula. However impressive it might have been in its day, it is now in a completely ruinous state, being roughly a circular mass of stone. The site is connected to the mainland by a man-made causeway about 1m wide. Some imagination is need to identify parts of the dun’s outward wall, close to the water level, which seems to have been solid rather than galleried.
