040 [Situation] 3/4 of a mile N.
W. [North West] by West of Plascow farm house
An ancient fort or fortress on the farm of Tarkirra. It is of an oblong shape, and its N. E. [North East] side appears to have been defended by a fosse, now greatly dilapidated by agricultural improvements. The Rev. [Reverend] J. Crocket is of the opinion that this antiquity ( although called a moat in the locality is a Roman Post, as there is another object a little to the N.W. [North West] of this apparently a British Camp. Mr. Copland of Kirkgunzeon and Mr. Kerr of Drumjohn are of the opinion that it is a British Fort although there is no tradition as to its use etc.
