"Beregonium is the name given by the Roman writer, Ptolemy, to the ancient city established by the Picts on the top of large land mass that has dominated the low lying area between Ardmucknish bay and Beinn Lora since the ice retreated. It's also called Dun mac Uisneachan.

William Graham visiting in 1907 : "Immediately to the west of the station there lies a long dark hillock or dun, about 250 or 300 yards from north to south, and about 50 feet in height, lying like a huge leech on the green meadow, ringed round by low precipices, save where the walls of rock are pierced by grassy slopes. The sea end of the hill faces south, falling sharply to the northern shore of Ard-na-Muich Bay, and commanding a glorious expanse of the Morven hills and mountains of Mull to the west.1

This area was at the northern border of where the Scotia established themselves, the southern area of Picts, with land moving in and out of control by each over time."
