253.16 | This is a natural hillock rendered by artificial means into a regular fort. It is very steep on the north, South and west sides, the only entrance appears to be on the east, where the trace of a wall is visible to protect it in that quarter, The base of a rude wall between ten and twelve feet thick occupy the greater portion of the top surface rendering it quite complete as a fortification. It is said this wall was at one period roofed, but that appears problematical. It has all the characteristicks of the Irish Raths, or forts, which are generally ascribed to the Danes. |

Parish of Kilmory
"Though generally regarded as a Danish fort its size, situation, appearance & name, seem rather to indicate that it was a castle or circular building roofed in either for refuge or defence" New Stat [Statistical] Account.
" On a round & isolated eminence called Tor Chastel
"connected with the adjoining land by a narrow neck, there
" are traces of a sound structure probably a Danish burgh*
" & also of Defending outworks ; but Mr. Londesborough mentions
"having been told that human bones were, several years ago,
"discovered in considerable quantities between the connected walls"
