The stone on the deck is probably one of the stone coffin end stones.

Appears to going south west to north east.

If taking the path to Carn Ban, this is to north of it and in the mound pictured. The cist re-found and a now an accurate grid ref :-)

Looked for a way up on all sides, when brambles are more than head high and the legs have taken a battering......................The dun is in the middle, you can just about see a wee clearing of stone work.

A closer look at the north east cist.

The overgrown north east corner of Carn Ban.

The remnants of what must have been an impressive site/sight.

To the east natural rock, to the west bits of chambers.

The widest part of the remnants.

Serious houk damage on the west side.

It might have been a long cairn, over the hill Bodach and Cailleach might have provided an answer, but they weren’t saying much on my visit.

This looking west, in the distance my next hike.

Much robbed but much to see, somewhere to the south is Ireland.

Looking north east, the cairn had a few chambers imo.

Decent slope on the east side.

Islay and Jura in the murky distance.

The north east section.

The west side of the cairn.

From the south.

West looking east, it’s an impressive cairn.

North west part of the cairn, Jura in the distance.

Fairly decent pic looking towards Gigha’s south, south side of the cairn as well.

The north side of the cairn.

Cnoc Nan Gobhar, hill of the goat, no goats but a kerb cairn. The west side looking east to the mainland.

To the north west, over the sea to Jura.

The edge with the possible Ogham markings.

Looking south, comparing the stone to the height of a fence post.

Looking south west, the natural causeway behind.

Beware the Trove co-ordinates place the stone on the other side of the road, and a wee bit up the next door hill.

Standing on top of the west wall looking north.

The west wall, beware you have batter thru some brambles to get here.

Ardminish to the north, possible entrance to the dun on the left of the photo.

Defence on the west, bits of wall survive under the ferns.

South east part of the dun.

Remnants of wall on the north part of the dun.

Inside the dun looking north east.

The sun creates some drama with the clouds, Gallochoille, worth a visit.

After smashing through to the top of the dun I looked north, Ardminish in the distance.

More stone work towards the north east.

Stone work still remains on the north.

Taken from the south east over St Cathan’s graveyard.

Looking over to the mainland.

The ogham markings.

Brambles would make their mark (on my legs) at various sites.

Looking north east.

Top of the stone, note the stone to the right.

The view of the cist from the gate.
