towards the S [South] of the construction while the
the remainder is indicated by the position of a
dyke built along the line of it. The existing portion
is sone 5' in height and has been surmounted
by a wall about 3' in thickness at base, the founda:
;tion of which may be seen. The interior of the
construction has measured some 114' in diameter.
As at wraiths there is a line of loose stones
across the centre from which some larger boulders
crop up. The position is not particularly defensible.

Auchenfad Fort.
This small but oval fort greatly resembling
the last which is but 1 m. [mile] to the N. [North] of it, is situ:

by a stone dyke and planted with trees. It
has been engirt with a stone wall, now entirely
broken down, but estimated to have been about
12' in width, a small portion of the inner face being
visible on the E. [East] side. On the W.[West] the mass
of debris measures 25' across and is rounded
over the top with much the appearance of
rampart which is probably fortuitous & owing
to growth of grass which covers is. A mass
of stones near the centre with a diameter of about 12' is probably
of comparatively recent disposition. The
longest axis of the fort rises N E [North East] & S W [South West] & the
interior measurement along it is 108' & at right
