[Note] -- "Besides the fortifications already mentioned three other
circular entrenchments of much smaller dimensions are
severally visible upon Houndhill Woodhouse and Ring-Knoll
of Hallmanor but these appear to have been erected for the protection
of live stock during the incursions of the English which owing to the proximity
of this district to the borders of England were very frequent". -- New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account]
