Fort Knock? No. 11.
In an old grass field on the S. [South] side of the
summit of the Knock where the ridge towards
the E [East] dips somewhat is a small circular
enclosure surrounded by a trench and
almost obliterated by ploughing. It has been
an irregular oval with an approximate measurement interiorly of 76' x 65'.
The site has higher ground both to W [West] and N. [North] of it.
These two "forts" are of the same character as
the structure near Chippermore &c. They are
not truly forts in respect that they do not occupy
the most defensive positions. They are invariably
placed on the slope of a hill, in land now under
cultivation, and they are of small dimensions.

Standing Stone
In a field at a bend in the road at Knock and
Maize about 1/2 m. [mile] NW. [North West] of Craigstare is a
block of grey Silurian sandstone 5'.6" in
height, in section an irregular four sided figure with its
broadest face towards the ENE. [East North East].

Port Patrick Par. [Parish] - Cairn Pat or Piot
Cairn Pat is a prominent hill which rises
to an elevation of 533' over sea level some
3 ms. [miles] S by W. [South by West] of Stranraer. Two ram:
:parts of earth and stone varying from 30' to 40 apart encircle its
summit enclosing a circular area
measuring [--]. From the SE [South East]
to W. [West] where the slope of the hill is less steep
these defences are supplemented by a third
