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. |

234 | A large steep precipice a short distance north of the above Fort Sign. [Signification] Big Den. |
