Looking S.
Between the uprights, one can just about make out the other standing pair in this group.

Dunamuck N

Looks like I’m the first person to visit the site, from TMA, since 2009. Back then 2 out of 3 still stood, sadly it is now 1 standing 2 fallen. Like a few of the nearby sites, gentle restoration comes to mind.

From the confusingly named Dunamuck South standing stones I headed north, only to be confronted by a burn/ditch, taking a run and jump I mis-judged the distance (or the takeoff point was ill judged) and promptly landed in the middle.

Being a nice sunny day I was soon covered in dried mud, perfect for the walk to the dun, a source of another weird story from much earlier in the day.

Only one of the stones is still standing, one having fallen since the photos here were taken. The remaining upright is visible from the southern pair that can be got to easy enough from the lay-by on the main road. At the end of the field there are two fences, a tricky, boggy ditch and a steep bank to be negotiated. Make sure to take a stick and poke the ground to check how firm it is before attempting to cross the ditch. One wellie boot sunk into the mud though the ground had looked stable. Water got in over the top before it could be extracted. Fortunately spare socks were soon to hand. The experience was nearly repeated on the return as well. Watch out – but worth it.
