outer mound on the low ground. The interior
is a somewhat irregularly five sided with its
longest axis E. [East] and W. [West] along which it measures
76' while from N to S. [North to South] it measures 69'. The
trench is best preserved on the E. [East] side where it
has a width of 18' across the top and a
greatest depth of 5'. The entrance has seemingly
been from the S. [South] along the easiest line of approach.


North Milton
Upper Fort.
This fort is situated at an elevation of
above sea level on the extreme SSW. [South South West] end
of a broad ridge of high ground which lies
about 1/2 m. [mile] W. [West] of Galtway Hill and about
1/4 m. N. W. [1/4 mile North West] of North Milton. It has been much
destroyed by ploughing and its lines are
now by no means definite but enough remains to show that it has been
a small rectilinear construction, oblong in
shape lying with its main axis W by S [West by South] and
E by N. [East by North] & measuring 117' by 64'. It appears to have been enclosed by
a ditch, now only a slight hollow some
18' wide, above which the higher part of the
interior rises to a height of from 5' to 6'
with probably a double rampart and
intervening ditch beyond, but the outer
mounds & ditch are only now visible
on the NE. [North East]. At the E. [East] end the inner trench
seems to have been diminished to 12' in width
