of the outer side of a ditch appear on the other sides. About the centre of the east side there is a gap or brake in the Fort which appears to have formed the entrance to it. Opposite this, on the west side, there is a gap similar to the one described, but it does not take place directly opposite, being less than the half circle of the Fort. No personal authorities could be found to identify the local name "Meikle Reive" with this antiquity which appears in Accounts &c. of the Parish. The Name "Maiden Castle" has been identified with the other Caledonian Fort - which see (Trace 2 28-9) "Sloughneagh" and the Craigs west of it on the side of the Fells overhang this Fort. It is not a perfect circle - nor has it ever been - the remains being almost entire.
