Remaining stones in the south east.
Note how low the water is in the loch, this would prove an important factor for some prehistoric sites.
Looking east towards Daliburgh
The mound that housed a dun reappears, this land is often bog.

When parking the car at the Cladh Hallan Graveyard, returning from Eriskay, car park I noticed a mound, which I presumed was once upon a time an island.
It turned out to be the scant remains of a dun, from the car park look east and walk in a straight line, we had returned from the roundhouses and simply kept going a short distance further.
It would be wrong to say all traces have been removed – several stones remain as well as the mound. One thing I did notice was the level of water in the nearby Loch Hallan – it was very low. Answers to that would explained during a visit to another site.
