The tower house here was built in around 1260. It's mainly ruined but thought to have once consisted of a single rectangular tower with walls almost 2m thick and several floors.
The castle was built on the site of an older hill fort settlement which dates to around 250BCE.
The hill is 268m high and offers great views in all directions.
You can walk up and back from the car park in the southeast if you stop and either leave your bike here or push up. It's also a good view from the car park and local road so you don't have to get your cleats muddy or leave the bike.
