the S. end of one of the most Easterly of these ridges
? some 50 yds. [yards] or thereby ENE. [East North East] of the E [East] side of
the gate which gives access to the Westmost of
the fields at the base of the Fell is a flat
rock surface measuring 38' in length by
about 15' at its broader or WSW [West South West] end and terminating
in a point in the opposite direction. It has
an elevation at its highest end of about 5'
and has a round smooth surface sloping
towards the SE [South East] and E.NE [East North East]. On the broad
end are a number of cup & ring markings
(see rubbing)

Laggan Camp Fort
On an isolated round low hill separated
from the S. [South] cliffs of Carleton Fell by a narrow
glen is the Laggan Camp. The flanks of
the hill are steep all round except where
a neck at the NNW. [North North West] connects it with the Fell.
The summit has been defended on the
ridge of the hill on the E [East] by a ditch some 20' wide
and 5' deep below the crest of the scarp
with a mound on the outside. Along the
sides the remains of the defences are slight &
also on the N. [North]. At the NW. [North West] they appear to
have consisted of two terraces about 12' wide, one
about 8' below the other.
