Full Description
NF86SW 39 82 62.
(NF 8262) "A mile north-west from Beinn na Coille are the remains of an island-dun in Loch an Iasgaich, connected with a neighbouring point on the west shore by a curved causeway 20 yards in length. This fort seems to have occupied only the south-west corner of the island, measuring a diameter of about 28 feet over its walls, which have been greatly damaged no doubt through the removal of stones for the construction of shielings."
