while the mound beyond it has a breadth at base
of 15', the outer trench a width of 14' and the outer mound
no definite measurement. The interior is not
very level but rises somewhat towards the E. [East]
Towards the NE. [North East] there is a filling of the outer
trench either to form a gangway, in which case it
would be the line of the entrance, or a traverse.
The line of the outer rampart to the W. [West] of it is very
faint and only traceable for a distance of some
30'. Except where a slightly higher and adjacent
elevation blocks the view on the NE, [North East] the situation commands an
extensive panorama.

Milton Cottage.
Some yds. S. [yards South] of Milton Cottage on
the termination of a long low ridge running
from S. to N. [South to North] & overlooking a swamp a small
circular fort has been constructed
by cutting through
the rock on the ridge and joined by the heaping up of a
mound where the slope becomes [accute] & in the low ground across the front.
The rocky face on the N. [North] has an elevation of
20'. The trench varies in width from 15'
to 18' and from either side of the entrance
on the natural level towards the S. [South] slopes
down along each side. The entrance cros:
:sing the trench on unexcavated ground is 5'
in width where it passes into the interior.
