[Note:] "Upon several of the hills there are the remains of forts
which appear to have been constructed with a great deal of labour.
They are supposed to have been the work of the Romans and to have formed
part of a chain of posts running from east to west intended to defend their con-
quests against the incursions of the people from the north the most remarkable
of these is on the top of Dumglow." Old Stat Acct [Statistical Account]
