Geographical co-ordinates: Lat. 46° 55' 30" N
Long. 000° 48' 25" E
(Mapdatum WGS 84)
Co-ordinate precision: As we didn't take a sample from the exposure in the castle, we haven't got any precise coordinates from the spot. The figures given above were taken off a small-scale digital map, so they can be wrong by 5 seconds or even more. The castle is directly to the North of the centre of the village, well sign-posted, so you really can't miss it.
