Balgreggan Motte Print E-mail

Prominently situated on the edge of the degraded cliff line 200m N of Sandhead, this motte stands to a height of up to 8.7m and its oval summit (damaged by the construction of an observation post during WWII) measures 20m by 17m. Artefacts have been found which suggest that a wooden structure previously built on the summit was burned down, together with items of pottery.
