Looking at the south-eastern side of Cairn na Burgh Beg, the smaller of the two islands at the north of the Treshnish Island group. The little spur of land juts out into this square by a few metres. Both this island and its larger neighbour, Carn na Burgh More were once fortified, with the remains of castles still extant on both of them.
