The dun, in front of the house in the middle.

Cairn near centre, looking towards an old jetty which doubles up as a passenger ferry.

From the island nearest the road causeway, cairn is left of centre. Eriskay nearby, Barra in the distance.


The cairn is bang centre on an island to the west of the causeway to Eriskay.

The non boat stone looking down onto Loch Aisebhat, a few steps north you’ll see The Witches Grave and further north Dun Trossary near the odd shaped church.



Looking north east, straight north near the odd shaped church is Dun Trossary.




Looking north west, the small hills are the island of Orasay.





Looking east, the possible outline of the chamber.



Why did they built that shelter – there is an awful lot of room!

As well as ducks, swans seem to be taking over the dun.


A wee bit of zoom, reveals a cairn of sorts plus loads of ducks.


Slightly different angle looking north west, plus the sun appeared.


The larger loch Loch Dun Na Cille has a small neighbour called Loch Dunanduichal, which houses the dun of the same name. This taken from the slip of land between the two lochs.






The causeway appears to be in a better condition than the house.





The smaller of the two crannogs, Easabhal stands behind.
