Looking towards the ancient fort, how far? not far, in reality quite far – caused not by distance.

The north west, one or two bits of cairn material popping through.

The south west.

The turf covered north section.

The chamber looking south.

Looking north, the remnants of the chamber.

the south side, in the trees beyond the battered Achnashelloch cairn.

Looking north over the site.

The top of the cairn, main road and track less than 100m away and still one of hardest sites to get to.

The south east and driest part of the cairn.

The east side of the cairn.

The well wrecked cairn, a nightmare to find.

Trees on top of the south west wall.

Scattered wall along the north section.

Remnants of wall on the west.

The best bit of preserved wall on the north east.

Looking east, the water behind is the Crinan Canal.

Looking south, possible entrance on the north.

Looking south east over the remains of a wall.

The dun is behind the telegraph pole.

The view inside of the suspicious hole, filled with fallen stones.

The inside of the dun.

The south wall heads west. Scarba, the island with the hill.

To me, the line suggests another possible entrance and a definite change of builder.

Note the straight line in the wall.

The east part of the south wall.

The superb south wall.

At some points the wall is over 3.5m in width.

Looking down on top of the the possible souterrain.

The possible souterrain, very unlikely and no old lady with old fashioned clothes stuck in the hole. (see Canmore link)

From the log park, add a bit of zoom.

Looking north.

Looking straight west towards Jura.

Looking south, Cnoc na Faire behind.

Taking the long way round I approached from the north.

From the south east.

The dun, in the clearing, taken from Cnoc-an-t-Samhlaidh (Summer Hill)
