What is recorded here

Swiney Castle is a medieval castle in Highland, Scotland. Its remains form a grass-covered mound about 18m across and 2m high, set on a steep-sided promontory and protected by ditches, with traces of masonry still showing on its south side. The mound may have hidden a keep, a hall or a family stronghold, and the ditches may have turned back attackers, rain or curiosity. Whatever stood there, the coast kept its shape long after its people stopped naming it.
