017 | Situated between Ben Dorrery and Ben Shurrery. On the top of this hill (which is nearly flat) is the remains of an old fortification Called Buaile Oscar. The east, and South east Sides of the hill is very precipitous and no doubt served as a defence on that Side of the hill, on the north and west sides is the remains of an embankment which to all appearance has been of considerable strength. There is the remains of a Pictish house on the very Summet of it, as a small round knoll covered with rough pasture. Proprietor J. Sinclair of Forss. |
