Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Previously ascribed variously to 11th, 12th or 13th centuries, this structure is dated by comparative analysis to 15th century. It is a towerhouse with contemporary curtain wall, against which the hall and chapel were backed, occupying the whole islet above highwater mark. The parapets were later raised and given timber hoardings. The courtyard was filled by later houses, and the tower was abandoned in favour of the rearranged hall in mid 17th century. A century later the castle was abandoned, but was fully restored 1938-70. Comparative plans and study of West Highland towerhouses suggest that Kisimul was contemporary with Breachacha on Coll.
