What is recorded here

Castle, unclassified in Craggard is a lost tower hidden beneath bushes on a low limestone ridge, though a 1750 map still claims it stood there. Two mossy stone heaps mark the slope below, perhaps mere field clearance rather than castle walls. The land keeps its secret, offering only a fox covert and a ghost of a building on old paper.

Atop low limestone ridge, in area covered with bushes and trees; named a 'fox covert' on OS 6-inch map. No visible surface trace of castle evident. Two moss-covered heaps of stone visible below top of ridge on ENE-facing slope; probable clearance cairns with larger (1.5m N-S; 1.6m E-W; H 0.4m) c. 0.5m to N of smaller (1m NE-SW; 0.65m NW-SE; H 0.35m). According to Westropp (1916-17, 245) 'a small peel tower ... shown on a map of 1750'. Compiled by: Denis Power Date of upload: 26 August 2011
