(NT 0725 4075) Candyburn Castle (NR) Fort (NR)
OS 6" map (1912)
The fort that stood on the broad summit of Candyburn Hill has been almost entirely obliterated by cultivation. The ONB states that it was apparently surrounded by triple defences, and these are shown on the OS map enclosing a roughly circular area which measures about 200' in diameter.
RCAHMS 1967, visited 1958; Name Book 1856
NT 0725 4075: On the summit of Candyburn Hill are the remains of a fort measuring internally 70m NNE-SSW by 55m, between two ramparts, now exiating only as low scarps the outer rampart surviving in the NNE. No entrance is visible, but there is a break in the inner rampart in the NE. In the interior, several natural scoops are visible. The name, "Candyburn Castle" could not be confirmed.
