222 | On the top of a little hill situated in low-lying ground at the bottom of the east side of "Creag Ban" is the remains tradition says of a fort The wall has been of great strength, is now scarcely traceable, being grassed over with the exception of one part near the entrance which fronts "Dun Chibhich", where the breadth of the wall is distinctly observable & measures 9 ft. thk. [feet thick] A few years ago a stone wall was put up near by it, & a great deal of material was taken from the old Fort. The aspect it Commands is not great being Dun Chibhich, the north end of Druim-yeon Bay & the east side of the north end of the Island beyond "Creag Largie". Sig "The little fort of the barren land". "Within sight of Dun Chibhich about a mile N.E. [North East] there is another beautiful little hill surrounded with a dry stone wall, rising in a valley which happens to be marshy, where it has its name Dunan an Tsheasguin (pronounced Dunan-an-Teasguinn) ie. the little fort in the marsh It is a steep rocky ascent 95 feet long, 55 broad, 36 high, but level on the top. The gate fronts Dun Chifie is 4 ft. [feet] wide & the wall 9 ft. [feet] thick. O.S. [Old Statistical] Account" |
