promontory falls away to seaward there is
a small plateau which appears to have been
levelled measuring 22' in diameter.

Fell of Barhullion. Fort.
The Fell of Barhullion rises with a
gradual slope from the NW. [North West] to a height
of 450'. Its highest point is the end of a
rocky ridge which crosses the broad back
of the Fell from the Northward terminating
in an outcrop of rock and steeply scarped
flanks. Towards the S. [South] end of this ridge
there has been erected an oval fort surrounded
by a massive wall of dry building. On
the E. [East] this wall is overgrown with vegetation

At one point towards the SW. [South West] a slight
excavation has been made and two parallel
wall faces are exposed about 5' apart which
probably indicate the position of the entrance.
The thickness of the wall disclosed near this
point is 11'. Parallel with the W. [West] wall and
a short distance within it there appears to be
