Ardwell Bay is a small promontory fort
locally known as "Kenmuir Graves". Two
deep ravines which have been worn down through
the boulder clay are separated by a high
narrow point which rises to a height of
about 100' above the shore where they open
on it. Across the landward end of the pro:
:montory there have been erected three earthern
ramparts with intervening ditches, within
the third rampart a third ditch and separated by a level
area some 30' in width a fourth.
The outer rampart has been almost obliterated
except at the W. [West] side while the greater part
of the second has also disappeared. The
outer mound has been the strongest meas:
:uring some 17' in thickness at base while
the others measure about 11' and 8' respectively
The outer ditch has been about 22' wide &
is 5' deep, while the
three other ditches have been an average width of about 19'
and depth of some 2'.6".
The entrance has passed directly to the
interior towards the S [South] side. On the
level space between the inner ditches
there appear some irregular depressions
