194 | A high, steep, & very remarkable hill on the Estate of Toward. Its southern slope is planted. It has every appearance of having been levelled on the top and a bank to protect it on the north is evidently partially artificial. Nothing is known about it except that the words "Old Camp" are written to the top of the hill on a plan of the year 1819, which together with its appearance and the extent of country it commands, would lead to the conclusion of its having been a hill Fort. |

[Note to Fort:]
Buachaile - a herd. Gaelic
Probable meaning "The Herd's Lookout"
Throughout the southern part of the flat top of this hill
and connecting the circuit with the steep bank on the
northern side Mr. Finlay and myself distinctly traced a
bank of loose stones after the usual fashion of a hill Fort.
The stones are very plain in some places, but have become
overgrown with vegetable matter - they were probably much
more distinct in 1819 at the date
of the Old Plan, and Mr. Finlay expressed
his intention of having the wood cleared out
and the evidences restored.
