(NF 8579 3436) Gro Got (Site of) (NAT) Dun (NR)
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)
An irregular mound of stones, about 30ft in diameter, with the ruins of an old house in the centre, is situated at a place called Gro Ghot. In 1915 there were insufficient remains to indicate that it was originally a defensive structure.
RCAHMS 1928.
Above confirmed. The rubble mound, 1.5m high, lies in a poordefensive position at the foot of a steep slope and in a slight hollow. There are little or no 'dun like' characteristics, the feature resembling a cairn rather than a dun.
Surveyed at 1:10560.
There is a small rubble-walled shieling structure about 15.0m SW of the mound.
Visited by OS (J T T) 14 May 1965.
