222 | On the summit of a small knoll stands the ruins, apparently once a strong fortification, the north side being guarded by bold precipitous rocks, close by the water edge of Garbh Phort, the west side being well secured by broken ridged rocks; the approach altho. [although] not easily traced appears to be on the east side: two old walls, one leading from the north side of the fort stretches still further north to a bold precipitous rock overlooking Garbh Phort, the other from the gate on the south side, and ends on the top of a rock overlooking the approach. It commands an extensive view of the north & west coasts, and from its situation it must have been used in preventing any invaders from landing near to this part of the shore. It is situated on a small peninsula north of Port an Duin & well protected by sharp ridged rocks. Sig: [Signification] The hill of the Trench "S.W. [South West] from Dun Chifi about the same distance and within sight of it, there is a peninsula which was strongly fortified and was probably occupied by the same people to secure their landing or retreat. It is called Tris by the inhabitants which is a corruption of the word Trench". Old Stat: [Statistical] Account |

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.
