Dłnan Ulbha landscape No. 1 – A view from the northeast across the field that surrounds the dłnan, which is located on the right side of the hill located right of centre in this image.  The body of water to the immediate left of the hill is known as Port na Bģrlinne, which translates as “port of the war galley”.  Thus, this may be one of the areas that supplied and supported a war galley crew, or crews, during the reign of the Lords of the Isles c. 1160-1490 AD.
