[feet] The remains of the vitrified fort are not very entire, but sufficiently marked to prove that its magnitude was considerable" New Stat: [Statistical] Account. "Near Clachan there is on the sea-coast a hill of considerable height named Dunskeig having on its summit a circular fort, 15 yards in diameter, composed of dry stones, and a little lower, at the distance of about 60 yards a vitrified fort 21 yards in Diameter, but of an irregular form" Origines Parochiales
