Horsley notes "the appearance of the ruins of a small fort or castellum" at Peel Glen (NS 521 725); Gordon mentions the vague foundations of stone buildings there, and Roy states that traces of this "fort" were scarcely discernible.
J Horsley 1732; A Gordon 1726; W Roy 1793.
This feature, if it was a structure at all, must have resembled the fortlet at Watling Lodge (NS87NE 7); it can scarcely have been larger. All traces of it have now completely vanished.

A minor installation, perhaps comparable to that at Wilderness Plantation, may have stood in Peel Glen.
