What is recorded here

Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Dun Toiseach as Bank (earthwork) (period Unassigned). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 1m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Dun Toiseach is a likely early-medieval fairy fort or ringfort, typified by a circular earthwork enclosure, common in Atlantic Scotland. Local folklore may associate it with supernatural or otherworldly beings, as is typical with such sites in Scottish and Irish tradition.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
