Askernish, Loch An Eilein

Stone Fort / Dun

Fieldnotes

Another of these 'high cairn crannogs' is situated in Loch An Eilein. Askernish is the name of large house. The biggest island in the loch is home to a ruined dun which was said to have once had a causeway. Sadly the causeway has long vanished.

Parking is available on the north side of the loch, a short walk back down the A865 takes you reasonably close to the island.
