This it the traditional site of Dun Vee, but there is no evidence of a dun ever having existed here.

No trace of a dun. The name Dun Vee refers to a narrow rocky headland on which bare rock faces form a natural defence. (It appears to be these faces which are shown as a hard line circle on OS 6"map, 1903)
