on the top which may possibly be the remains
of a hut. The greater part of the fort is now
within a wood.

Cairn (site)
About 1/2 mile South South West of Craigielands
hill the O.S. [Ordnance Survey] marks a cairn in a grass
park to the South of two small square plan:
:tations. The original cairn, evidently a
large circular one has been almost en:
:tirely removed at some time in the past,
and on its site another is in course of
erection from cartloads of pebbles gathered
off the field.

Fort Kinnel Water Kirkpk [Kirkpatrick] Juxta Par. [Parish]
The fort is situated on a grass grown
rocky eminence which rises to a height
of some 40 feet above the brown benty
moorland, a short distance back from
the right bank of the Kinnel Water, 3/4 mile
to the North West of Stiddrig and at an
elevation of some 600 feet above sea level
the enciente forms an oval lying with its
longest axis NNE. [North North East] and SSW. [South South West] measuring
interiorly 221 ft. [feet] by 130 ft. [feet] surrounded by
a wall of moderate sized stones now ruined
and spread over a space of 26 feet but which
appears originally to have had a breadth of 10 ft. [feet]
