Its situation appears from a passage in these annals under the year 1529, but more clearly form the following description of the situation of the place in Henry Dockwrs’s Narrative of his Services: ‘In this place where the two bays of the sea that encompass it for the most parte...come to meet e somewhat neare togeather, the distance of the land between them is about six miles brosde, and in a manner all bogge, with a river passing through from one side to hte other, and not passable in five or six places, where there are certaine narrow foards of water to go through, At one of the ends of this necke of land stands an old broken castle called Collmackatren, at the other an old fforte called Cargin. ...
