There is a path by the base of the precipice, which is about 500 yards in extent ; and off its N. W. Termination there are masses of a similar porphyry on the shore and in the low cliff, whose relations to that of the great facade cannot be made out. Dminadoon, the hill with the fort Drum or Drim, whence the Latin Dorsum, is a rounded ridge is so named from a fortress on the summit, which seems from its position and remains to have been one of the strongest places in Arran in the olden time. A ...wall eight or ten feet thick, founded on huge blocks, starting at either end from the front of the cliff, sweeps round landwards so as to enclose several. Acres. Mr. Headrick, writing in 1807, says "In the middle of the arch there is a gateway, on each side of which are great heaps of stones, which seem to have been additional works for its defence; within the enclosure are several ruins of houses of loose stone. . . . Had it a sufficient supply of water, it might be rendered impregnable. " Many of these stones have since been used in the erection of fences and cottages, and there are no traces of any ruins.
