Background
History
There is a prehistoric domestic and defensive dun which is a scheduled monument. It is located in a position that gives it a wide cone of visibility over the Mid-Argyll coast. Excavations have found pottery that indicates the site was occupied in the early Christian period (6th-7th century AD). Shreds of Samian pottery as well as the morphology of the site suggest that the site was constructed and first occupied in the early centuries AD, other finds suggest that metalworking also occurred on the site.
