Enclosure Jamieson's Point.
On a rocky promontory known as Jamieson's
Point about 1 1/2 m. [miles] N. [North] of Kirkcolm Village is
a circular enclosure situated between the
rocks and the field dyke. In the interior
which measures 57' in diameter there are
surface indications of subdivisional walls
but the whole structure is much worn
down and almost level with the surface
of the ground. The thickness of the wall
appears to have been some 7'. Adjacent
are the remains of an old kiln. In a
plan reproduced in the Arch. [Archaeology] Collection's
of Ayrshire & Galloway Vol. [Volume] V [five] p. [page] 65, three
hut circles are shown, but their existence
is very questionable.

almost dividing it from side to side near

on either side of which rise

of the fort to a height of from 15' to 20' and
