Full Description
NH79SE 19 7986 9435.
(NH 798 943). The site of a motte could underlie the hen-house at Knockglass, but the site has not been examined.
Info contained in letter from J E Kirby to OS, 10 December 1978.
The alleged motte noted by Kirby is at NH 7986 9435 and appears to be a natural promontory above the raised beach to north, on which the farmhouse and out-buildings of Knockglass has been built. The N, W & E slopes are steep, but the approach from S is level. There is no trace of artificial scarping beyond that associated with the farm.
Visited by OS (N K B) 2 December 1980.
