The Tor of Craigoch hillfort has been occupied by the Agnew Monument. Aside from the rounded hill it is difficult to find any traces of a hillfort. The view is dominated by the Agnew Monument built in 1850 in memory of Sir Andrew Agnew MP, who died the previous year. Canmore ID 60830 (go to Links) gives extensive details of the fort and contains several good aerial photos. Comments (6)  |  Add a comment  |  Permalink
