Groam of Annat NH 509 436 NH54SW 2
What is probably a post-medieval artillery fortification occupies the SE end of a prominent ridge. It is locally said to have been built by the Duke of Cumberland for the bombardment of Beaufort Castle (NH54SW 4) but it was more probably intended to protect a ford across the River Beauly. A bank, which measures up to 7.5m in thickness and 1.2m in height, cuts off the end of the ridge; on the NW there are a ditch and a counterscarp bank.
