Lismore, Castle Coeffin

Fish Trap (post Medieval)

What is recorded here

Castle Coeffin is a post-Medieval fish trap in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. Its exact position remains uncertain within one hundred metres, a small margin that creates a large ghost on modern charts. The site may mark a forgotten joint where human ingenuity met tidal force, yet no clear path leads to it now. Coeffin itself resists definition, preserving only the shape of a place that once captured life from water.
Scotland's National Record of the Historic Environment records Lismore, Castle Coeffin as Fish Trap (post Medieval). The official map says its point is accurate as follows: NGR given to the nearest 100m. The record does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
