021.09 | [Situation] ¼ mile South of of Hundalee. This strength is situated on the extremity of a ridge and close to Lintalee - defended on the East by a precipitous cliff of about one hundred feet high, washed at its base by the Jed Water and protected on he North west by a deep ravine. The remaining earthen embankments are very Strong having a fosse on the South side thereof - the greatest portion of the entrenchments have been completely defaced. Some are of opinion that this earthen work was made by Douglas as a breast work to the Stronghold which he built about the year 1313, while others Seem to think that it must have been a place of Strength long prior to that date. |
