(Extract) Statistics Wigton page 234
"This ancient fence is invariably 8 feet broad at the base with
"a fosse on the north or inland side of it * * In Galloway it
"uniformly includes the fertile Land to the South of it from which
"circumstance, and from the fosse being on the opposite side, it appears to
"have been built by a people inhabiting the lower and more Southerly part
"of the district."-
"Considering all its circumstance, it is extremely difficult to assign
"its age, its object or its builders". - " I am disposed to think that this work is several centuries older than the arrival of the Irish [Cruithne]
" or Picts in Galloway . - " It is obviously a very ancient work . and was probably formed by the Romanized Britons after the departure of the Roman Armies."
