`Fort Hillfort` north of the road at Baugh
Dùn Ìbrig is the remains of a broch built around 1,500 years ago. The name `Dùn Ìbrig` consists of both Gaelic and Norse words, reflecting the influence of Viking settlers in the ninth century. `Dùn` is Gaelic for `hill fort`, while `-brig` is from `borg`, the Old Norse for `fort`. 
-brig` is from `borg`, the Old Norse for `fort`.
I think it is actually from ON bryggja ‘landing place’
