Mervyn,
You are right. It was the Colvale Fort.
My greatgrandfather, Major Jose Caetano Gomes, was the last
Commandant of the fort before its deactivation and his transfer as the first
Commandant of Mapuca.
(probably around 1850).

Joe,
Thanks for these pictures.
I am from Colvale.?
I was always told that this was the Colvale Fort.
I have even been in a dug out canoe from the "Tar" in Colvale, up the creek,
to the ruins of this fort which lies half way to Tivim.?Is there anyone here
who can shed some light on this?
