Carn Mor OS name book entry 28-31-48 (top)

Carn Mor OS1/28/31/48 one of two entries - see OS1/28/31/84 Applied to a sort of concentric cairn of stones, much resembling the pictish towers of Sutherlandshire but I could get no information about its date or for what purpose it was built. It is known only as the Carn Mor which translated into English means the large cairn. [Added at a later stage] This has evidently been a fort as it is similar in many aspects, only larger, to a chain of the same kind of entrenchments which may be found extending from Cromarty by Beauly through Strathglass, it is of a circular embankment or parapet being comprised of stone and earth, and surrounded by a deep trench. Human bones found in the interior of entrenchment A.D. 1859
