A broad stony mound or dyke comes
over the moorland from the South west
and meets the wall on the south side
of the entrance.
Numerous small cairns occur on the
moor to the North-Eastward between the
fort and the road at an elevation of some 800 ft [feet] over sea level Some of these I
believe were excavated by Mr. A.H.
Bishop who found nothing within them
in the shape of either cist or relics.

24 Sept. [September] 1912.
Enclosure Meikleholmside

On a plateau on the western slope of
the Annan valley some 3/4 mile North North
West of Meikleholmside and at an elevation
of 700 feet over sea level are the remains of
and oval enclosure lying with its main
axis NNW. [North North West] and SSE [South South East] and measuring
in diameter some 149 ft [feet] by 113 feet. It has
been surrounded by a single stony mound
now of low elevation and much spread. The
interior rises to a ridge crossing the centre
from North to South and the lower part of
the area on the West is completely overlooked
by the higher ground outside and immedi;
;ately adjacent. On the East there is a steep
descent from the plateau to the bottom of the
valley.
