Monument record 1205 - DUN EASHADER, NORTH UIST

NF87SW 4 8075 7266.

(NF 8075 7266) Dun Eashader, a flat island in Loch Eashader, may be partly or wholly artificial and shows traces of a slight wall around its edge: it was doubtless once occupied as a fort.
There appears to have been a shallow enclosed basin or harbour immediately within its S edge, and a causeway probably existed at the E end.
E Beveridge 1911.

The island in Loch Eashader, composed of rubble stones, is undoubtedly artificial and as described by Beveridge. It measures 16.0m E-W by 12.0m N-S.
There is a small modern cairn at the eastern end but no trace of a causeway or harbour could be found.
