look at the Horse Ring on West Glenarm which
Dr. [Doctor] Frew said I ought to look at. It was a
long stiff ride with a head wind and my
labour was rewarded by finding nothing!
The hill is just such a one as would have
been surmounted by a fort at one time but
centuries of cultivation have long since
obliterated the traces of it.

Camp Hill
Milton Park
(Site)
The O. S. [Ordnance Survey] marks the site of a Camp at
Milton Park, about 1 m. S. [1 mile South] of Haugh of Urr.
The hill on which it is indicated has long
been under cultivation. In Mr Coles description
of the "camp" in 1892. he says "Here is a
nearly circular depression; but how once
trenched it is impossible to say."

Hopehead
Here the O.S. [Ordnance Survey] marks a fort on the summit
of a round grassy hill. I could see
nothing of the kind. There was a deeply
entrenched circular summit but the trench
was formed as a dyke, probably originally
for a plantation, and similar ditches
radiated from it alongside of the hedgerows
down the hill.

The Ditch
Boreland of
Gelston.
In a hollow to the W. [West] of the farm house
and about 100 yards distant from it is an
oblong entrenched enclosure lying N. & S. [North & South]
