In 1983 construction work led to the destruction of part of the island fort of Eilean an Duin and an archaeological investigation was undertaken. Two sections were cut through the stone-built rampart, and one through interior deposits of the site. The rampart may originally have included a timber element which had been burnt. In the interior a clear occupation deposit was recorded. Radiocarbon dates suggest that pre-rampart occupation occurred late in the first millennium BC; the fortification must have been built soon after
