This old dike or rampart is first visible issuing out of Loch Ryan in Wigtownshire upon the farm of Beoch and traversing Galloway for about 50 Miles over hill & dale, enters Dumfrieshire and joins the 'Britton Wall' after which it runs into the Solway Frith. Mr Train of Castle Douglas an antiquarian of some note traced it through Galloway which he mentions, upon some elevated Spots over which it runs, remains of Watch Towers are yet visible, he also states that it is invariably 8ft. [feet] at the base and has a fosse at its North or inland Side. This I find to be incorrect as regards the portion which passes through the farms of Craignell Craigenbay &c &c. Mr. Train is also in error in Stating that it runs through the farms of of Craigencallie and Garrary, as it passes some distance South of these farms through the farm of Craigenbay to it meets Loch Spraig Burn It then disapears, no trace of it is visible until it appears on the West Side of Benbrack on the farm of Drambuie from the farm of Drambuie Mr. Train says that it runs through the farm of Clenrie but is not now visible on the said farm. It again is visible on the East Side of Shinmount Hill on the farm of Largmore & Continues so to the opposite Side of the Same farm, when it again disapears & is next visible on the farm of Stranfasket (formerly Largmore) running in a Westerly direction entering the farm of Knockreoch on its eastern Side but only three short portions of it are traceable. And again disappears And is next visible on the West Side of the last mentioned farm near a pool of Marsh Called Loch Guizy.
