Dun Mhuirich Stone Fort / Dun View all content for Dun Mhuirich

The remains of four ancient forts may be found within this district, their walls clearly distinguishable. They are of great age and their dates are uncertain. An interesting stone can be seen by the roadside near the fort of Dun Mhuirich. It has a rounded hollow like a small basin, and is known as the christening stone. It is thought that it was used for christening stillborn or illegitimate children, but it may even belong to a pre-Christian era and have been turned to its later use after Christianity came to the country.
