Full Description
Within the dun of Dun Taimh is a large cairn erected to commemorate the jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1887.
RCAHMS 1928, visited 1915.
Runes (two words) have been notes on the Queen Victoria cairn. They were on the lintel of a 'Cupboard' in the cairn. Thus, this stone may have been built into the dun.
