Dun Mor Ghil is a summit at the centre of a centre of a
barely-accessible headland on the remote Oa peninsula in the south of the island Islay (Argyll and Bute). It rises to 53m (174 feet)
from the sea and also presents precipitous slopes to its
landward side. An ancient hill-fort once occupied this
naturally-defensive site and evidence of a wall which now
reaches only 40 cm (16 inches) in height and is topped with
turf. There was an entrance passage through a deep fissure in a
rock scarp to the southeast. Inside are two small level
terraces linked by rock-cut steps.
