035.04 | An ancient building near the house of Drumin, of a great height and the walls about 6 feet thick, one side has fallen away, leaving the three remaining sides standing with the remains of the lower basement ar dangerous. "At Drumin on a high promontory near the confluence of the Livet with the Aven, stands part of the old castle of Drumin, now affording shelter only to jackdaws and pigeons. The wall, which is of great height and thickness is pretty entire on the east and north and half of the westside, but the other half of the west and the whole South wall are gone, and the stability of a considerable part of what remains of the structure seems to rest on a single stone of a few inches in diameter, placed in a curious position on its edge and not on what builders call the bed."
