In the late (and not early) 19th century a series of buildings are shown within the main enclosure, these are names on the 25" map as being Knocklane Castle, in subsequent times the castle structure has been comprehensively robbed out except for a small piece of upstanding wall.
The promontory fort is situated on farmland and should only be visited with the permission of the landowner, no dogs are allowed.
Note: Just in, these wonderful kite aerial photo from Hamish Fenton
