025 | The "Castle Hill", upon the Authorities quoted, is the highest point (on the north) of "Bar Hill", of which it is an indistinct separate feature, except at the peak, where the Trigl. [Trigonometrical] Station stands. The Fort & this peak or cone form the "Castle Hill" & between the fort & this high point the ground is very hollow, the tops terminating as represented on Traces. Some evident remains of intrenchments are to to be seen around the high point of Castle Hill, but no information can be obtained about it. There is just level ground enough between the bottom of this point & the ditch of the Roman Wall to admit of the breadth of the Wall. Whether these cuttings in the hill were made for a Castle which is supposed to have stood here & from which the name may have been taken, or whether they are Roman remains, there is nothing to shew nor could any information be obtained. From the conical point of Castle Hill, there is a ridge running down the noth side of the Hill & terminating at the "Strone point" of the Canal. The table of this ridge is about 7 or 8 chains from the R. [Roman] Wall - as sketched & Shewn on Examination Trace. |
