(Descriptive Remarks)
Applied to a sort of concentric cairn of stones, much resembling the pictish Towers of Sutherlandshire. but I could get no information about its date or for what purpose it was built. It is known only as the Carn Mhor ["h" crossed out], which translated into English means the large Cairn.
This has evidently been a fort as it is similar in many respects, only larger, to a chain of the same kind of entrenchments which may be found extending from Cromarty by Beauly through Strathglass, it is of a circular form, the inner embankment or parapet being composed of stone and earth, and surrounded by a deep trench. Human bones found in the interior of Intrenchment A.D. 1859.
