Full Description
Remains of a tower. The foundations of a strong tower-like structure lie to the southwest of the castle of Knock. The remains may represent an earlier tower said to have been destroyed by the Clan Chattan (MacIntosh) in 1590 (Simpson). There now appears to be a corn-drying kiln inside the foundations.
