Fort Dùn an Fhamhair [note]
"In the south division of the
parish, two circular enclosures
commonly known as Dùn Fhinn,
or Fingal's Fort, and Dùn-na Foghmhar
or Giant's Fort, attract the attention
of the traveller. They seem to have
stood for many ages, & baffle conjecture to
account for their origin".
