The outer wall hides amongst the ferns.
End of outer wall, north end.
Looking over the inner wall north towards Beinn Bheigier. These clouds can come very close.
South east, in the background Trudernish Point another fort.
The substantial walls north start.

Looking down on top of the dun.
Signs of the triple line of walls.
South west tip, the mist comes, the mist goes.
Looking from the end of the road, the dun is below this wee bump (tarred at least)
Go to the end of the A846 at Ardbeg and go straight onto the minor road. Keep going until it ends as it heads north east. Jump over the gate and head north east, climbing slowly. After about a 1/4 mile Dun An Rubha Bhuide will be seen.
This is a tremendous fort with three lines of wall for defence and a natural harbour just to the north. Each wall is over 2m wide and on the outer, a gap which I stumbled through is probably the entrance. Like a lot of forts here, walls have been built to fill in natural defences.
Also there is, like a few other forts I visited, higher ground nearby i.e the direction I came from. So not much protection from the north, hence the walls.
But this is a beautiful place and its the end of the road (tarred).
