Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox ancient site Dun Skudiburgh is a prehistoric fort near Uig, Skye, Scotland.

The site is on the west coast of Trotternish, on a steep-sided knoll about Шаблон:Convert above the shore of Loch Snizort.[1]

Description

The site consists of a partly vitrified fort overlaid by a dun. A ruined wall of width about Шаблон:Convert encloses an oval area of about Шаблон:Convert by Шаблон:Convert.[2]

Outside this on the east is a wall about Шаблон:Convert long, and on the north are two shorter walls. There is an entrance between the outer of these walls and the wall to the east.[2]

It is thought there were at least two phases of construction of the dun: walls of poorer quality have been discerned to the west, south and south-east.[2]
