Skyhill Fort

Archaeology

The site of the foundations of a building measuring 4.5 metres by 3.3 metres, which has been interpreted as either the site of a late prehistoric hut circle, an early medieval keeill or a later medieval Watch and Ward lookout post or possibly a small fort.


Excavations by Kermode in 1912 revealed Bronze Age burials, fragments of two urns and a polished stone axehead or chisel.


The feature is shown on the 1870 1:2500 scale Ordnance Survey map as the ruins of a chapel.

Skyhill, Creg Bouyr
