Dun Garbhlaich
Small Hut Circle; on a wide natural platform of level ground, about 150m south of Dun Garbhlaich fort, is a circular setting of large boulders. This probably indicates a “roundhouse”, although possibly a small enclosure. At 6.5m diameter, the boulders stand to 0.4m high, with an entrance in the east.<1>
