Description |
|
This
stone-walled fort is situated on a rocky hill overlooking the Abhainn
Airidhcheodius. It measures about 37m by 16m and has been recently
disturbed by the building of a film set and vandals. Part of the wall
had been recorded as standing 2m high (nineteen courses). It varied in
thickness from 1.5m to 4.5m. The interior of the fort is mainly occupied
by a steep rocky area but part is relatively level and there are various
ruined stone foundations (as well as a modern round house built for the
film set). A second series of out works protected the lower slopes of
the hill, traces of which are visible. |
