In the burial enclosure of the McAdams of
Waterhead is a curious tablet let [cut] into the
wall of which I took a photograph.

14th Augt. 1911.
Tongland Par [Parish] Dunjop (2) Fort.
Car towards Twynholm.
Immediately to the S. [South] of Dunjop house and
about 100 yds. [yards] in rear of the farm buildings
rises a somewhat conical hillock on which
grow a number of oak trees. About half
way up its slope towards the N. [North] there
is visible for a distance of 40' a rampart
some 10' in breadth and about 1' height
and a slight hollowed terrace in rear of it
Passing round the flanks of the hillock it
is not observable. On the W. [West] however near
the base a similar mound is to be seen
stretching from the adjacent field dyke (which seems to surmount it on the S. [South]) for a
distance of 93', & thereafter turning sharply away
from the hillock towards the road, being
interrupted in its course by a mill lade.
The whole construction is very fragmentary.
On the top of a low hill 1/2 m [mile] SW. [South West] of the last the
O.S. [Ordnance Survey] marks the site of a fort. Nothing of it remains.

Queens Hill
In a park on the S. [South] side of the avenue at Queen's
Hill which leads towards Fellend is a
small conical hillock which Mr. Coles records as a
mote. Around it is a slight scarp too
