Summary

[edit]
Description
English: South from Dùn Fiadhairt Dun Fiadhairt, a broch, measures 31ft internally within a wall up to 12ft thick. The entrance in the W is checked for a door and fitted with two communicating cells. Another cell lies in the NW sector of the wall, and the stair-lobby in the N, while a gallery occupies the E and S sectors.

The dun was excavated in 1914. Finds included an amber necklace, various beads with one dating from probably 2nd century AD., and a terra-cotta model of a bale of wool indicating trade links with Romanized Britain. (Source - Highland Environmental Record - http://her.highland.gov.uk/ ).

Beyond are some of the many islands in Loch Dunvegan.
