What is recorded here

On the S shoreline of Island Lake, located a short distance NW of Island House, a fortified house (MA093-017003-), within a complex of earthworks (MA093-017001-). Knox (1911, 333) noted a mound at roughly this location, which appeared to incorporate 'a trace of stone building like a small tower, 21 feet [6.4m] by 15 feet [4.5m].' It was located immediately to NW of the fortified house and he considered that it might have formed part of a gateway associated with house. There is no visible trace at ground level.
