Dun Thoravaig

Stone Fort / Dun

spencer Jun 9, 2024

Canmore ID 11544. The site is now occupied by the remains of Knock Castle and there is scope for more archaeological work deeper than that undertaken on the medieval remains. Grass covered wall foundations noted at a gully pinch point on the SW side may, one wonders, have an earlier origin. A fine vantage point.
