Full Description
An alleged Fort or Dun is said to lie on the Hill of Cormalet but as the area is no densely afforested it is difficult to access. The central hill which makes up Hill of Cormalet is called Dunbothie -' the fort made of birch wood', which could suggest that such a feature exists or existed here. There is a broken irregular circle of stones but the date unknown.
