Dunan's auditorium
The stone box Dunan Aula ( Scottish Gaelic Dùnan Amhlaidh ; also called Barbreck - German "Olaf's Castle" ) is located near Craignish in Argyll and Bute in Scotland .
The exposed north-west-south-east oriented stone box is said to have been located under a now completely demolished rolling stone hill in an 18th century cemetery on the summit of the steep hill “Dunan Aula”. An "urn with ashes" was found in the box discovered while working on a mausoleum of the Campbell family.
The stone box measures 1.2 × 0.7 m and is 0.8 m high. The capstone measures around 1.6 × 1.4 m. About 9.5 m away, on the side of the hill, there is an upright slab of 0.6 × 0.4 m at the base and 1 m high with a flat top that cannot be identified.
The Kintraw site is nearby .
