NF76SE 14 7903 6208.
(NF 7903 6208) Pile of Stones (NAT)
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)
An island dun stood near the west side, and in the southern half of Loch Mor, Baleshare, and now consists of a heap of stones a little above water-level and too indistinct for measurment. The site has almost certainly been used as a quarry.
There is, however, a substantial causeway (RCAHMS 1928) and the island may be artificial.
E Breveridge 1911; RCAHMS 1928
There are now no recognisable traces of a dun but the
causeway is well-defined.
