3' high, a break in it just below the summit on N. [North] side 6' wide seems to have been an entrance. This wall appears to terminate at
the actual summit, which is a rocky peak, on
its W [West] side and across a gap of about 40' are
visible the remains of another wall flanking the
gap on the E [East] and running for a short distance about 50'
Westward. Below this again about 100' down appears a network
of ruined walls from which starts the wall previously
described which runs along the shoulder.
The NE. [North East] flank of the hill is precipitous and
the N. [North] is also very steep but as the shooting tenant
was believed to be stalking there I was unable
to make a close inspection. The actual
top of the hill within the upper enclosure
is windswept and barren with little
vegetation on it. Through the lower main
wall near the centre of its course is a break
which has probably been an entrance,
having a depression in rear of it on the
E [East] side. Lying among the ruins
of the lower wall, roughly 150' below the
summit at the extreme E [East] end lies a
round mill-stone of the native sandstone
broken in halves. It is 4' in diameter
5" thick, and is pierced in the centre with
a hole 5" in diameter. To lessen the
amount of piercing the stone has
been previously flaked towards the centre
