OS 6" map, (1959)
An angle fragment less than one storey high is all that remains of the Castle of Easter Clune, a small 16th to 17th century tower. It is said to have been built by an Archbishop Ross. Easter Clune house (NO 6117 9147) bears the date 1719 so presumably the tower was abandoned by then.
D MacGibbon and T Ross 1887-92.
