OS 6" map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1903)
This cairn or dun is a circular heap of stones some 43ft in diameter and 5ft high. It has been so destroyed by the construction of shielings on its summit and sides that it is impossible to determine its nature from present surface indications.
From its size it would seem to be a cairn rather than a dun.
RCAHMS 1928, visited 2 August 1915.
This feature is a natural green mound with the remains of an L-shaped building, with outer enclosing wall, on its mutilated top.
Some 10.0m to the west are two small shielings and c. 30.0m to the west of these are the remains of an old field wall running approx. N-S. Surveyed at 1/10,560.
Visited by OS (W D J) 12 June 1965.
