Monument record 1073 - DUN BAN, LOCH NAN GARBH CHLACHAN, KNOCK-CUIEN, NORTH UIST

NF86SE 1 8605 6012.

(Area: NF 860 601) Dun Ban Hacklett is situated on a rocky islet in Loch nan Garbh Chlachan (on the OS map, but known locally as Loch Hacklett). The remains of an encircling wall 3ft thick are almost continuous, while the whole enclsoure is 60ft across and is connected to the north shore of the loch by a curved causeway. The remains of a circular building stand at the north end of the islet, 27ft diameter over walls 3ft thick. The entrance passage on the north, part of which remains, was
evidently once roofed.
