Full Description
NF97SE 6 9529 7241.
(Area NF 953 724) Indications of a probable earth-house were found in the N bank of Loch an Duin, Portain, facing the causeway towards the 'island fort' which stands near (NF97SE 4). What appears to be a doorway, 22ins across and hidden by vegetation, bends westwards where it narrows to 12ins, all between what appear to be structural walls.
