Totamore dun, Coll

Totamore Dun is a dun located at grid reference NM17625713; near the settlement of Totamore, on the Inner Hebridean island of Coll. It occupies the summit of a rocky boss, on the eastern edge of the sand-hills located 300 metres north of Totamore. The dun is well protected by cliffs up to 19 metres; although the approach from the north-northeast is almost level. The dun was protected by wall which would at one time have been about 3m thick; and would have run along the summit. This wall would have enclosed an area of about 25 by 20 metres. The current condition of the wall is, however, very poor and only a few fragments of it survive today. The entrance is 3.3 metres long by 1.2 metres wide; and is bordered on the northern side by a course of large blocks. These blocks measure up to 0.7 metres long and 0.4 metres high. Only a single facing-stone remains on the southern side of the entrance. ()
