Looking from W shore of Loch Baravat along stone causeway leading to remains of an Iron Age galleried dun. This island dun has similar features to a broch: double wall with intramural gallery & stair, long entrance passage (on opposite side to causeway) with check stones, bar-holes, sill stone & door pivot hole. In use from around 600-100BC.
