Full Description

NF85NE 9 8972 5520.

(NF 8972 5520) A curved causeway, nearly 20 yards long, from the shore to the southern, and smaller, of two islets in Loch na Sruthan Beag, Ronay, is an indication of the former existence of a dun.
E Beveridge 1911.

There is no evidence of a dun on this islet (which seems to be too small). No causeway can be seen, although a tumbled fragment of wall on the shore of the loch may have been confused for one.
Visited by OS (J T T) 3 June 1965.
