Dùn-dà-ràmh "Fort of the two Oars" Gael [Gaelic] Orthography.
"The castle of Dunduramh is a large and strong tower of an irregular figure with small
turrets along the angles in the wall; but, as it is built in a low situation, it could only be a
defence against the cursory attacks of the hostile neighbours. Above the gate of the castle
is the following inscription 1596 J.MAN. Behold the end of all Benought. Wiser
than the Hiestes I trust in God." Old Stat [Statistical] Account Vol [Volume] 3 p [page] 168.
