All of the impressive south wall.

On top of the south wall looking eastish.

Looking along the south wall to the west.

Outside the well built south wall.

Looking from the south door along the north wall.

Looking down into the south door stop.

Door stop on the north.

North entrance.

South entrance.

The dun is in unbelievably good condition.

North east entrance / exit looking to the south west entrance / exit.

The north side of the most eastern wall entrance.

Behind the wall appears to be a sort of causeway.

The walls leading to the galleried dun

Looking back out.

Flints and a hearth have been found in here.

The widest part.

The narrow start.

Time for the bended knee.

The entrance.

Huge walls on the south west flank.

Man made wall meets natural wall on the south east.

Southern tip.

Northern wall looking south west towards Old Ulva and Carn Mor.

We approached along the top of this ridge from the east.

Iron Age meets Medieval.

Wall on the south, incredible thickness of wall.

Looking east, beautiful colour of water.

Further to the south west, looking back on the collapsed wall.

The massive walls head south west.

Tumble down, these walls must have been massive – north end.

The ditch like feature at the north end.

Inside the dun, the building inside and squared dry stone dyke probably Medieval, the rest – the outer wall is original.

On top of the south wall, the sea loch of the same name below.

Tumbled wall on the south west.

Iron Age wall on the south west.

On the east entrance

Below the eastern walls.

The remarkable Dun Mhuirich, middle of photo, viewed from the north east.

Looking north, the grass seems close, the bog is problematic, choose your steps wisely if visiting.

A look from the south shows the cairn still has a bit of shape and height.

Looking east towards Taynish (good walks there).

Looking south west towards Danna.

A good look revealed a probable cist.

Two stones on edge, perhaps the remnants of a cist.

The centre of the cairn.

Looking south west, the water of An Grinan behind.

Like a gazelle I gracefully crossed the bog to get close up to the cairn.

Without zoom, bog in front.

With a bit of zoom it looks easy enough, in front of the site is a bog.
