OS 6"map, Inverness-shire, 2nd ed., (1904)

The remains of Dun Uiselan, an oval mound of stones, 68ft ENE/WSW by 50ft by 8ft high, are in the south eastern corner of Loch Uiselan. No buildings were seen in 1915. The remains of a causeway lead 35 yards south east from the dun and then another 25 yards in a more southerly direction to a rocky knoll.


NF 7776 4536. This stony mound, probably the remains of a crannog-type dun, is generally as described above. The top of the mound is occupied by a later sub-rectangular structure, 2.8m long by 2.5m wide and c.0.4m high. At the base of the mound on the S side is a small rectangular chamber. The causeway is as described by RCAHMS and averages from 2.0m to 3.0m wide.
