Skelbo castle mound
Mott and Bailey style castle without the dependence on wood and a temporary feature as many of the Wales Roman borderland castles, this has the view of the estuary which must have been short of the sediment peninsulas seen today and thus the castle may have been close to a minor sheltered water for docking and supplies at the time of its inception: Earls of Sutherland, ferry road on mound Telford, Norse site LinkExternal link (Archive LinkExternal link )
