(NG 0432 9161 ) Dun (OE) (Site of) Stepping Stones
OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1903)

A small circular island (now covered with vegetation) which has been defended by a stone wall built on its waters edge. This is now so dilapidated that the building appears as a truncated cone about 50ft diameter and 7ft in height. A causeway (about 20 yards long and 5ft wide), submerged for about half of its length in the centre, connects the dun with the E shore of the loch.
RCAHMS 1928.

A small artificial island dun about 12.5m diameter and 2.0m high now covered with dense vegatation. The outer face of a tumbled wall is visible around the islet at the waters edge, more or less concentric within it are traces of another wall face with a diameter of about 9.5m. This latter is greatly obscured by tumble, and nowhere survives to more than 3 courses, as it cannot be ascertained whether it is the remains of a mural gallery or a stabilising wall. No internal features survive. The causeway is now submerged and barely passable.
Visited by OS (N K B) 4 July 1969.
