Penningham Par. [Parish] Beoch Farm.
The farm house of Beoch lying on the road
to Loch Ochiltree and about 3/4 m. [mile] SE. [South East] of the
hamlet of Knowe occupies the site of some
earlier structure which has been defended
by a moat now for the most part filled in.
Immediately to the S. [South] of the house is
however still open, measuring 25' in width
and 6' in depth, and a portion is also
visible to the E. [East] of this on what has been the
opposite side of the enceinte.

Deil's Dyke Glenvernoch Fell
From the
E [East] side of the road between Glenruther and
Ochiltree at a point nearly opposite the S [South]
end of Loch Ochiltree
crossing Glenvernoch Fell about 1/4 S. [South] of the
summit in a ESE [East South East] direction are the ruins of
stone wall, noted as the "Deils Dyke" on the
O.S. [Ordnance Survey]. The superstructure has disappeared but
between the facing stones of the foundation
the breadth has been 6'. Directly S. [South] of
the summit of the Fell the wall turns
Southward down the W. [West] side of a hollow
which it follows for an indefinite distance
down the hill. Across the upper end of
the hollow, however, it again appears crossing
the fell in the main ES [East South] Easterly direction.
There is no indication of a ditch associated
