A non-intrusive survey of this headland on Scotland's western seaboard reveals evidence of maritime activity from prehistory until the recent past. The siting of an Iron Age dun appears to have exploited a natural creek to bring boats to a secure landing-place. Access was enhanced by a cleared channel, and two docks with adjacent nousts constructed. A stone-revetted canal was later driven to the loch beyond, and quays built on either side of the entry. A 12th-century boat-timber was found in the loch. Later the canal was widened, and finally blocked. The sequence of development, and associated dating, merits further research.

鲁布·杜南（Rubh'anDùnain）：苏格兰内赫布里底斯凯岛上的多期海洋景观

对苏格兰西部沿海的这个岬角进行的非侵入式调查显示，从史前到近代以来一直有海上活动。铁器时代沙丘的选址似乎是利用一条天然小溪将船只带到安全的着陆点。通畅的水道加强了进出通道，并建造了两个码头和相邻的码头。一条镶有石头的运河后来被驱赶到河床之外，在入口的两侧建造了码头。在湖中发现了12世纪的船用木材。后来运河拓宽了，最后被堵住了。发展的顺序，以及相关的约会，值得进一步研究。
