Dunmore, Fintry NS 605 864 NS68NW 10

The remains of a massive wall 3.5m thick, which has been built round the summit of Dunmore to enclose an area measuring about 150m by 45m, forms the 'citadel' of a Dark Age fort. Below the summit to the NE there is a large annexe bounded on the E by an outer wall and elsewhere by precipitous natural slopes; a rocky terrace S of the summit also carries remains of walling, which may likewise be contemporary with the fort.
