rampart which has encircled the summit there
has apparently been an outer rampart some 20' wide with
an intervening trench. Of the outer rampart only
a small portion some 40' in length remains
at all distinct but the trench is visible on
the E [East] side and is very distinct showing a
width of 30' at the S. [South] corner. There has
been an entrance through the defences from
the SSE [South South East]. Within the interior on the
W. [West] side near the entrance there appears to be
an enclosure measuring some 36' by 33' resting
on the inner rampart and there is a small
circular depression nearer the entrance on the
opposite side. There seems to have been a
good deal of stone in the ramparts which
has been removed and the fort has also
suffered from being under cultivation.

cleared through the centre.
