DUN IBRIG

NM026444. The fort stands on a slight rocky rise amidst flat land. An outer rampart surrounds the base of the knoll and the outline of the central fort can just be made out. Dun Ibrig is distinctly egg-shaped and traces of a probable mural gallery can be seen in two places. In view of its shape the site should perhaps be classed as a galleried dun rather than a broch although, in this case, the distinction is not likely to be fundamental.
