Looking south east towards, which I now know is a fort (next time), An Dun.

The southern defence, behind the foliage is a nasty wee cliff.

Creagan Na Ceardaich Moire

Heading south west from Trudernish we headed towards Kildalton Church and a surprise bonus when I saw the fort marked on the OS map.

From the church car park look north and fort can be seen on a small hill in the middle of a boggy field. A gate directly opposite the car park makes access very easy.

Access to fort is from the south west between some massive boulders, the main entrance being to the north east with a gap in the rocks being almost 2m wide. A lot of stones can be seen at the bottom of the hill suggesting that the wall has fallen or pushed (to make nearby dry stane dykes). It is roughly a rectangle in shape being 38m by 22m. Good all round views but not really the best defensive place I’ve ever seen. Anyhow enough time to look at the nearby church before heading further south.

A fine place.
