It is built with cement apparently made up of a composition of lime sea-shell, and earth of a dunnish colour, so exceedingly firm, that it were easier to quarry a whin rock.

OS1/2/25/73 [Page] 73 Parish of Saddell & Skipness -- Argyllshire "Upon several of the headlands near the sea-coast there are ruins of small forts, which probably served as Watch Towers or stations for telegraphic signals There is one at Carradale which must have been of some importance. It is built on a high rock fronting the sea, whence it is inaccessible and was defended on the land side by a broad & deep ditch. It is 240 ft [feet] long by 72 broad. Nothing now remains but a portion of the outer wall." New Stat: [Statistical] Account Remarks by Examg. Offr. [Examining Officer] The remains here are obviously not those of one of the ancient 'duns' or hillforts. The portions of wall which still are standing have all the appearance of having belonged to a more modern feudal castle. The small indent 4' deep at the S.E. angle, the regularity of the lines of wall, & the squareness of outline of the place, also the character of the masonry are conclusive evidence.

The peninsula itself is indented with abrupt rocks on all sides, and the wall of the fort is adopted to the elliptical form of the eminence. Its circumference is about 150 yards and its greater and less diameter 60 & 25 yards respectively" New Stat [Statistical] Account. "At the extremity of the point of land which forms the fine bay of Carradale, there is a small island, in the centre of which is to be seen, the foundations of a vitrified wall of an elliptical form, surrounding about a rood of ground. There is no tradition to throw any light on the puzzling monument of antiquity. Its insular sequestered situation & particularly its form which was peculiar to the Ancient Druids, and a large opening on the East, towards the rising sun, would tempt one to conjecture that it was built by that venerable order, as a place of retreat & security, when they fell into disgrace, and had drawn upon themselves the displeasure of the race of Fingal by assuming a greater degree of power, than these haughty heroes were willing to allow them" Old Stat [Statistical] Account.

OS1/2/25/95 [Page] 95 Parish of Saddell & Skipness -- Argyllshire "The abbey of Saddell, a monastery of the Cistercian Order, was begun by Somerled, Lord of Kintyre and the isles (who died in 1163) and finished by his son Reginald. It was built in the form of a Cross The length from E [East] to W. [West] is about 136 feet by 24 over walls, and the transept from N [North] to S [South] about 78 feet by 24. The S. [South] End of the transept was extended 58 feet more, and made the side of a square, which served for Cloisters. There is very little of the Church or Cloisters now standing" Old Stat. [Statistical] Account. "Before the middle of the 13th Century the abbey of Sagadull, afterwards termed Sandale and Saddell, was founded for Monks of the Cistercian order by Reginald the son of Sorlet (Somerled), who styled himself King of the Isles and Lord of Ergile and Kyntire. He granted to the monks the lands of Glensagadull & the 12 Marks of Baltebeam in the lordship of Kyntire & the 20 Merklands of Ceskew in the isle of Arane. The Abbey it is said became a house of no common repute for sanctity. It is said also, that about the year 1257 Thomas Sandalius (apparently so named from his connection with the Abbey) became a monk of Saddell, that he was afterwards abbot, that he was famed for his austerity, that he left many works which were preserved in the library of St. Andrews. It has been suggested that Saddell is to be identified with the 'Cloister of grey monks' who made their peace with Haes King of Norway in his descent upon Scotland in 1263 and gave Symon, apparently one of his chaplains, who died at Guday (the isle of Gigha) sepulture within their Church in Kintyre. The remains of the Monastery stand on the banks of a small stream at the entrance to the valley of Glensaddell on the east coast of Kintyre. The abbey church which was in the shape of a cross, was 136 feet long [continued on page 96]
