Full Description
R. Spencer-Jones and S. North of NOSAS conducted a walkover survey of this area of Urchany on 4/04/19 based on features identified on an 1800 map in the Lovat Estate collection.
Dun Garbhlaich
Shelter against a rock-face; set against the steep south-facing rock face of Creag Mhor, a cliff face 150m south of Dun Garbhlaich fort, is a subrectangular structure of stone and turf standing to 0.4m high. Orientated eastwest, it is 3.5m x 1.5m with an obvious entrance in the northeast corner against the rock face. Its size and position suggests this is a shelter, or possibly small animal enclosure.
