[situation] 7/8 mile E. by N. [East by North] of Glenvale farm house.
At the North West end of Glen Vale, and on the north bank of the Small Stream, there is the ruins of a circular stone Fort about 80 links in diameter the earth in the centre is considerably raised and covered with heath. Mr. Ireland, Wester Upper Urquhart, informed one, that when he was a boy, he assisted in carting away he stones from what was called the "Fort", consequently it is now much reduced in appearance.
"About 1/2 a mile west from the West Law are to be seen the ruins of a stone fort, and south from it are the remains of many huts. Half a mile further west a deep ravine cuts the mountain in two, at the north end of which is another stone fort. "Col. Miller".
"There is a wild & romantic glen about a mile west from Orea, that divides the West Lomond Hill from the Bishop Hill called Glenvale, through which a little rivulet runs to the north. Even this pass has not been neglected to be guarded as one of their little round forts lies yet in ruins in the mouth of the pass above one of the windings of that little water and close by the roadsides the stones lying around a heathy eminence appearing white among the black heath" Mr. Small.
I have not been able to get the first mentioned fort by Col. Miller authenticated: all the persons in the neigbourhood to whom I have spoken seem never to have heard of it. Mr Todd, Gospetry, has that part of the West Lomond on lease & he never saw any thing like a fort, nor ever heard of one being there. |

The spears or javelins, whichever they may have been, are small, with a socket for the handle. Several stone battle hammers have also been found in the same field. |
