What is recorded here

Barra, Castlebay, Dun is a mound in Castlebay, Na h-Eileanan Siar, Scotland, recorded without a clear period but marked on the official map to within ten metres. It may have been a fort, a burial heap, a boundary marker or the crushed remains of a house that stopped being a house long before anyone thought to ask. The stone and soil do not need a date to keep their shape. They wait for a person stubborn enough to sit beside them, watch the light change, and stop inventing.

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Barra, Castlebay, Dun as Mound (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 10m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
