Dun Ruadh is a fine example of a type of monument known as a 'Ring Cairn'. The interior circular space is lined by a circle of standing stones behind which a substantial cairn of stone rises to above two metres in places. To the west is an entrance avenue lined with stones, the cairn continues along the perimiter to complete this secretive ritual space. Though much of the cairn has been carried off to build walls and even a local school, it is easy to imagine how this intruiging site once looked.
