Dun Rosail

Stone Fort / Dun

drewbhoy Oct 31, 2019

The walk from Sagairt to Dun Rosail is very short indeed, walk east and jump the fence to the south.

The entrance is probably in the east as a row of stones seem to indicate some kind of defence. Very little remains of the dun except for odd mounds, the dun itself is almost 12m in diameter. Nature aids the defences in the south west but this would be a hard place to defend.

Interesting place.
