Fort [note]
"In this parish are situated the remains of what are
usually denominated Danish forts. The principal
remains of one of these are situated on the farm of
Balemacumro, which is near the Mull of Kintyre. The
situation is almost inaccessible, being on the head of a
perpendicular rock 180 feet in height, the base of which
is about 100 feet from the sea. The fort is surrounded
by three walls. The inner is 12 feet in thickness, the second
6 feet, and the outer wall 3 feet. The space between the
inner wall and the edge of the precipice is 66 feet in length,
and its medium width 22 feet".

Ordnance Survey - Argyll county
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.
