discontinued and a shallow trench some 8' in
width with a low mound on the outer edge & a scarp some 6' in height is
carried round to meet the side of the rocky
face. There appears to have been an approach
to the summit from the W. [West] some 3' to 4' wide
past the termination of the defences and along
the edge of a steep scarp which rises
from a somewhat irregular terrace at 6' lower
elevation than the lowest line of the defences
carried to meet the rock face on the SW. [South West]

Fort - Loch Roan
From the W. [West] or wooded shore of Loch Roan towards its
Southern end the ground rises rapidly
to three distinct eminences.
On the most Southerly of these are the ruins of
a stone built fort. Running from E [East] to W. [West]
across the top are three parallel ridges of
outcropping rock some 20' or thereby in
width rising to a height at most of 6' or 7'
above the grassy hollows which separate
them. The width of these hollows is not
uniform but at their E. [East] end it is 15' and

outer ridges on the N. [North] and S. [South] the ground
falls sharply away as it does also towards
