Visited 17/01/19 Drummore Castle is situated 300m South of Drummore Stone Circle up the slope, obscured by trees. Mother Nature is slowly reclaiming the fort. The oval structure is still visible, as are the double rampart and ditch defences. The enclosure is flat with no remnants of occupation. Canmore ID 63925 (go to Links) yields more information on the fort. Comments (0)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
