100 | Applies to what is generally known to be the remains of a Danish Fort or Brough: this idea may be confirmed by the fact that it is Situated upon an eminence Commanding an extensive view, similar to the many Dinis in the highlands. The masonry has been removed for other use, and there is nothing remaining to indicate its former State, but a broken mound of Stones and rubbish overgrown with grass It is Situated in the W. Side of "Southerquoy", and about 1/8 mile S.W. of Brockan. |
