Approaching Loch an Dun Fort the causeway is clearly visible above the water.
As CARL observed wellies are advantageous in crossing the ramshackle causeway to Loch an Dun Island.
Almost all traces of Loch an Dun fort have been obscured except for a course of stone on the right where the causeway meets the island.
A modern cairn has been constructed on Loch an Dun fort to complete its indignity.
Leskernick North Circle captured in 2014 with a large recumbent and two stones visible. An additional stone breaking the surface can be seen in the left foregound beside a small mound.

The recumbent stone, c. 4 metres long, lies inside the circle, N of the centre in Leskernick North Circle.
