Revd [Reverend] Mr. McBride Kamesburgh
194.10 This fort is ploughed up on the south side, and a stone wall runs through it, it is situate on a low flat neck of land, and nothing in its situation would indicate its ever being a stronghold, or a place of defence, Nevertheless tradition assigns it as the site of a "Danish Castle" with which tradition, Revd. [Reverend] Mr. McBride concurs.
If this be the site of a Fort - the Rings of Earth on 203.8 and 12 are similar - they are too small for Forts unless of masonry, of which there is no evidence? [Initialled] J.B. Lt.Col. [Lieutenant Colonel]
