Full Description
NF96SW 3 9012 6245.
(Area: NF 9012 6245) There are traces of a circular wall on the next islet (now little more than a scattered heap of stones) to the SE of the island-dun (NF96SW 2) in the N end of Loch Obisary. Although generally indistinct on the E it is clearly defined to a width of 27" and a height of 3ft, having enclosed an interior space now little more than about 12ft in diameter.
E Beveridge 1911.
NF 9012 6245. As described above, the purpose of the enclosure could not be ascertained; but it may be fairly modern.
