Details Remains of a castle. It is situated on a height above the Glen Road. Only a fragment of a circular stair tower which occupied the southeast angle of the castle survives. The southern segment of this stands at a height of circa 3 m, the rest lay collapsed, but its diameter is circa 4 m, the wall being 1m thick. Abutting on the northeast were the vague turf-covered foundations of a rectangular area measuring circa 9 m east-west by 7.7 m north-south but undoubtedly the foundations of the main building, but by 1970 when revisited by the OS no recognisable rectangular foundations were visible to the northeast of the tower, where turf-covered fallen masonry forms a mound circa 1.3 m high, circa 14 m east to west by circa 16 m transversely. An old track, circa 1.5 m wide terraced into the hillside from the west may be connected with the castle.
