Just across the road from the school.

A side ways look at the stone.

The last site of the day, the last up and downs of the day.

Looking south east.

Looking north.

Looking west, a very calm Atlantic.

The circular shape, is the dun.

Stones like these, south east, can be found almost surrounding the site hiding in the grass.

The gap in the trees, surround the site.

Stone work on the south west.

Underneath the tree, the remains of more wall on the north.

Not much left of this dun, the different height of grass – the remains of the north east wall.

Looking north on top on the wall, the drop beneath is straight down.

This, looking west, shows the there is still quite a considerable wall remaining underneath the foliage.

Looking north east towards Muasdale farm.

In the middle of the dun, the ferns have done a good job hiding everything.

This might look like a short walk to fern covered site in the centre, it’s a dangerous one as well.

The approach from Muasdale Farm.

Wall built either side, at least they didn’t pull it down.

Looking north east.

Looking south east.

Looking straight south.

Looking south west, you can just about see Ireland.

Looking west onto a very calm Atlantic.

Below the south wall.

The possible entrance in the south west.

Incoming cloud covering what should be the north of Ireland to the south west.

Looking north, round the corner is the Red Cove Dun. A fast part of the road, keep a grip of any hats.

Straight down on the west side.

The remnants of the north section of the west wall.

The north east part of the wall.

The south east wall.

South east looks ok for natural defence.

Nothing wrong with western defences.

The southern approach.

The red stone is reasonably easy to carve as can be seen by more modern initials etc.

Erosion giving a wee glimpse of lower remains.

The possible entrance on the south east.

The south wall.

The north east wall.

On top of the north wall looking over to Gigha.

Natural defences on the east.

Viewed from the south.

From the north.

Looking north west.

The west side, looks like one of my former haircuts as well.

The west side of the dun, easy to see where the name comes from.

Looking north west towards the north of Gigha.

Looking south towards the tall neighbour.

Looks like an edge to a cist.
