This name was gathered as part of a local research project on the place-names of the Rough Bounds of Lochaber and was published in a booklet by SNH and AÀA. The Following quote appears in that booklet:
“The monument itself stands on Dail an Tùir, ‘haugh of the tower’ a name which must be more recent than the monument itself.”
