Castle Moy (4)
Castle Moy is an oblong tower, with walls of roughly coursed glacial rubble, buttressed with a batter at all angles. The walls rise three main storeys to a flush parapet, deeply crenelated, with a parapet walk drained by water spouts. There is a gabled garret storey, one gable of which is visible here. Two of the angles have what were once open rounds, but which have been roofed over (and then ruined again) at some stage, to form turrets. One of the two western angles was surmounted by a caphouse for the stair in the castle's south-west corner, while the other corner had a watch-chamber over it, partially projecting on corbelling. The windows are small and sparse, adding to the tower's impression of grim strength. The entrance is to the north-east, approachable only by clambering over bare rock. Currently, it is obscured by scaffolding.
