025 | This hill is rather seep [steep] & rugged on the north side, particularly so on the part though which the Roman Wall ran, South West of the Farm of Croyhill. The highest part of the hill is where the fosse is cut through the Rock. It becomes uneven about the farmhouse, being lower than upon the line of Roman Wall, but again rises high & prominent nearly over the the "King's seat" and the Steep banK of "Craig Marloch wood". The latter part, however, is not so high as the former - along the ditch where the rock is cut through. The whole of the hill is rough rocky pasture. interspersed with furze. A Public Right of Way passes over the hill between the Parish Road at Croy Station, & the Ph. [Parish] Road between "W. [Wester] Dullatur" & "Craigmarloch Bridge" (Trace 4. 019A.16).
