White Point Fort, Tromracastle is a likely early-medieval ringfort, indicated by its circular enclosure and hachured representation on the 1840 Ordnance Survey map. Though no specific folklore is recorded, its coastal location suggests it may have been a defensive or agricultural site used by early Irish settlers.
