Castle Rushen

Castle Rushen: 'Here is a deep dungeon for prisoners, who were lowered down into it by ropes, or descended by a ladder, there being no steps to it; nor was the least glimmer of light admitted into it, except what made its way through the chinks of its covering.' (Francis Grose, The Antiquities of England and Wales, 1773-1777, M 02523)
