Full Description
NF87SW 10 82 70.
Strath Beag an Duin (name at NF 8225 7100): This name indicates the site of a dun in the immediate neighbourhood, despite the absence of any tradition.
E Beveridge 1911.
In a valley lying between Loch Mousgrip and Beinn na h-Aire is a rocky mound with a quantity of large blocks of stone placed at varying intervals and suggestive of a building of circular shape with a diameter of about 40ft. But for the name this could hardly be admitted as a defensive site.
