with this projection. All three figures have
four rings around them but while those of

" On the Well Hill is a mass of rock, measure:
:ing 9' by 3', W. [West] of and not very far from
the Ewebughts. The much worn condition
of the sculpturing renders examination very
difficult but it appears to consist mainly
of shallow cups 1" wide, very numerously
scattered about; a groove follows the edge
of the rock and connects two cups, one of
which is surrounded by a ring. The rock
has a slight inclination Eastwards."

"The Battery" W. [West] Torrs
Fort Site .
The irregularly circular mound of fine sand
& gravel which bears this name is situated
in a low lying meadow about 1/2 m. [mile] NNW. [North North West] of
West Torrs farm. It is now quite featureless
as a fort but Mr. Coles says of it that previous
to 1889 it consisted "of a circular rampart 3' to
4' high, surrounding a flat mound lower
than itself, the diameter E [East] and W. [West] being 120'.- --"
My personal impression was one of scepticism
regarding this ever having been a fort.
