Forts on Mull

Most of the forts on Mull are generally small in size , the largest is the promontory fort at Sloc a' Mhuilt which has an area of 2.47 acres. The main defence is usually a single stoutly built stone wall with a thickness ranging from 2 - 5 metres. This is often protected by minor outworks in the form of lengths of walling. Forts are usually situated on small islands, low hills and knolls, rocky crags and at the end of coastal and inland promontories where steep, sometimes almost vertical rock faces restrict the access.
