043.06 | This Camp is situated at the South side of Shiel Burn and South Base of Woodend Hill, its general outline is a semicircle and appears to have had a ditch and strong rampart on the East and West, which are still in a good state of preservation there is no trace of a ditch on the South side, and here the rampart is slighter than on the East and West side; there is also an appearance of a Sligt rampart on the North side which is on the top of a precipitous slope (See Section a, b, c.) This Camp would form a good place of defence in hand to hand encounter, but, would be at the mercy of an enemy with arrows or firearms from the Slope of Woodend Hill. |
