Isle of Skye Dun Ardtreck is a galleried dun or semi-broch, which was originally excavated by a man called Euan W Mackie in 1964 and 1965. The dun stands on an isolated rocky knoll cut off from the surrounding moorland by a depression of marshy ground on the Ardtreck Peninsular near to the village of Portnalong. The landward side of the knoll is bounded by rock faces except on the South East where a small cleft has been used for the outer gate way. The dun is D-shaped with the straight side formed by the cliff-edge, it occupies the highest point of the sharply sloping rock. It was built in two stages. A roughly level platform 19 feet in width retained by a outer face of boulders was constructed and on this was set the galleried wall. Charcoal from the platform suggested a date of 115BC. The wall survived to a maximum height of only 3 feet and there was no evidence to suggest the former existence of upper mural galleries. The dun entrance which is 3 feet 3 inches wide was checked for a door, the iron handle of which was recovered. The excavations suggested that the occupation of the dun had been spasmodic, the primary occupation being very short and there were indications that it had ended in violence and destruction. There were very few finds from this period. A second occupation dating to around the middle of the 2nd century AD involved minor alterations. The outer court showed signs of sporadic occupation in this period and the foundations of a possible hut were identified, but the main occupation was in the interior of the dun and the many finds were all domestic, including iron tools, bronze ornaments and glass-paste ring-heads as well as Samian ware sherds and a piece of Roman melon bead. Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.
