Monument record 728 - GUNISARY BAY, BENBECULA

NF74NE 9 7985 4916.

(NF 7985 4916) A small island, in the north end of Gunisary Bay, about 700 yards north of Creagorry, Benbecula, is occupied by the scanty remains of a dun, only a narrow ring of stones round the margin being left. A submerged causeway, 15 yards long, connects the dun to the north end of the loch.

The dun is as described above: there are no surveyable remains. Causeway partly submerged.
Visited by OS (R D) 17 May 1965.

The islet is comprised of portable stones and the surface is covered with vegetation. Although heavy silting, vegetation and the peat-stained nature of the water
prevented further observation of the islet underwater, fingertip inspection suggested the underwater perimeter to also be comprised of portable stones. The islet thus appears to be artificial or substantially modified. No material remains were observed.
