200 | An old fortification, which tradition hands down as having been used by the "Danes". It is positioned on an eminence on a rocky point jutting into the sea & about one mile north of the "Dun". It has been Seemingly of ordinary strength, the wall (as near as can be given) measuring about 9 feet in thickness; the outer side in some parts being well defined. A few yards to the north is something like the foundation of a strong wall, between a couple of small rocks, which is supposed to have been part of the defence. Some years ago most of the stones were removed for building purposes. Sign. [Signification] "Cragag's (as pronounced) Fort" - But C. McIsac's one of the above authorities thinks the name to be taken from "Crag" a hand; meaning the fort of many hands |
