" Dunfiunn or Fingal's Fort, situated on a round eminence of considerable elevation, near the point of Clachlands. Headrick conjectures that this was one of those vitrified forts so common in the North Highlands. No traces of vitrification now appear. The site of the wall by which it was surrounded can still be traced." New Stat [Statistical] Account. " Two miles further east, near the top of the great hill Dunfuin on the brow is a great stratum of most singular stone, of a dull black-green cast, smooth glossy surface, chattery in its composition, semitransparent, in small pieces, & of a most vitreous appearance: It sometimes breaks into forms rather singular, & like those of that species called Iceland Crystal; but cannot be reduced to that class, as it strikes fire with steel & refuses to foment with acids. Some pieces, more mature, break like glass; of which it seems an imperfect species, less pure than the Iceland agate, and like that to have been the effect of a volcano" Pennant's Tour of 1772.

It was considered one of the largest Cairns in scotland but of which scarcely a stone now remains. It was of a circular conoid formation measuring 200 feet across. It is called by the natives Cairn Ban a Feorline to distinguish it from others of the same name. The extent of the Cairn was pointed out to me by Ebenezer Bannatyne who principally removed it. " The largest Cairn in Scotland is said to be that at Blackwater Foot. It is now much diminished in size, owing to the great quantity of stones that have been carried away from it for dikes, drains, houses etc. but when entire, it was said to measure across upwards of 200 feet" New Stat [Statistical] Account. " See at Feorline another stupendous Cairn, 114 ft [feet] over & of a vast height: & from two of the opposite sides are two vast ridges; the whole formed of rounded stones or pebbles, brought from the shores. These immense accumulations of stones are the sepulchral protections of the heroes among the ancient natives of our islands: the stone chest,the repository of the Urns and ashes, are lodged in the earth beneath; sometimes one, sometimes more, are found thus deposited: and I have one instance of as many as 17 of these Stone Chests being discovered under the same Cairn" Pennant's Tour of 1772
