Field Notes

The mountain behind the castle has been cut through for a road. The fort seems to have a central bailey on top and a couple side baileys, but it is hard to tell how much of the fort may have been damaged by this. The castle site could be on private property. It is not signposted but the area directly around it is being used and I had someone following and watching me from a distance the whole time.
