008 | A circular space across the Threepwood road, barely traceable, the South Side is Slightly raised and on the north side there is about a foot of an inward slope Similar to (nearly defaced) Roman or British camps- There are no stones such as actually form Druidical circles but the authorities I have quoted except Mr. Dobie say that it is a tradition in the neighbourhood that it is the remains of a Druidical circle-Mr. Dobie is the writer of the [artic]le on Beith in the New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] and he referred me to it for his opinion. This is the notice he takes of it in the work referred to. [At the] bottom of the hill, north of the rocking-stone there are the remains of a circular trench and of some building. The place is called "Kirklie Green" [There] are no remains of a building at the present, and no one in the neighbourhood remembers to have seen any, the object he refers to is not [and] I think never could have been a Trench. It has the appearance of the remains of a Roman or British Camp (this is but my own opinion I have written the name according to the best authorities I could get.) M. Kinsela C:A [Civilian Assistant] |
