This fortified
homestead was used by the Picts around the 1st century BC and the 1st and 2nd
century AD. With it's thick walls and only one small well protected entrance, penetration
would have been impossible. The exterior walls would have been made with very thin joints
so making it a smooth surface, impossible for attackers to climb. |
