the S. [South] but on the N [North] & W [West] there is an intervening space
of grass and rocks for from 20' to 30'. and on the
W. [West] the rocky point extends for a considerable distance
seaward. [Text inserted here] There is a fall of about 9' in the level of the
area occupied by the building from front to back. Some 70' to landward of the ditch
which intersects the neck is a stony bank of
low elevation curving from the cliff edge on the
N. [North] and terminating 13' back from the edge
on the S. [South] thus leaving a passage of approach
to the fort. There are indications of wall
faces in the thickness of the front wall but it
is not clear that there was an entrance
through the centre of it.

Mote High Drummore
On the extreme end of a ridge which separates
the glen of the [--] burn on the S. [South] from a deep
ravine on the N. [North] and immediately to the
N. [North] of the farm of High Drummore
a mote hill rising to a height of about 23' on the E. [East] and 10' on the W. [West] (A) From its base on either side a
rampart passes down the slope towards the
E. [East] with an interspace of 60' which has probably
formed a base court into which there
has been an entrance now some 8' wide passed the
bottom of the mound on the S. [South].

[Margin] (Take in at A)

The summit measures some 40' in diameter
and is hollowed to an extent of 18' and to
a depth of from 3' to 4' with an opening from
the E. [East]. The rampart on the S. [South] of the base
