234 | On the top of Stac a' Dubh na Feannag there are a great many loose stones, nearly in the shape of a Circle, which are evidently the remains of the wall of a Fort. The tradition goes that there was an old Castle here of some sort but its position and shape warrant it's being called a Fort, as the rock on which it was built is admirably constructed for a place of defence. This is evidently what is called Carn a' Leum in the New Stat. [Statistical] Account. |
| GARADH MÒR | Garadh Mòr | Colin McNeill Newhouse Alexander McGougan Newhouse |
234 | A large steep precipice a short distance north of the above Fort Sign. [Signification] Big Den. |

authority for calling it so.

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Argyll, which is in the west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
