054 | "The Hill of the Fort" a conspicuous conical eminence, whereon there are the remains of a stronghold of primeval antiquity, The tradition is that when the Earse alone was vernacular among our ancestors the presumption is that they had fortified this fastness, defying hostile intrusion. Upon the sides of the Mound, the regularity of the walls, or ramparts, establish it to have been of similar origin to those fortresses of the North in the Celtic Era, except the east side, which is defended by a deep, natural, narrow glen called "Clais an Dun", It appears to have originally consisted of a double, broad rampart of stone all traces of which are distinctly shown on the Trace. There is no information neither has it the appearance of having been a vitrified fortress. |
