"Camp"
Old English [type face to use on map]
"A circular camp is next to be found on Devonshaw or Woodend Hill, about the centre of Wandell and opposite the village of Robertoun, and has a rampart and ditch it is supposed like other circular ones to have been of British origin." (New Statl Act. [Statistical Account])
This camp is oviate shaped, and appears to have been formed by escarping a natural feature of the hill, the surface of which at this place, is undulating, an there are several lumps on the East side, but there is no sign or appearance of a ditch to the Camp, except a small portion at the South end, where there is an appearance of two ramparts or escarpments. This camp commands an extensive view up and down the valley of the Clyde.
