into this annex and against the outer face
of the wall to the Northwards of it there appear
to have been a series of oblong enclosures formed
by an outer parallel wall and some 10' distant,
and cross walls between. The outer of these
two walls has been more slightly
built than the other walls of the construction
and may possibly be secondary. The inner,
or main wall, around the plateau has been measured
about 10' in thickness and its outer facing may be
seen towards the N.W. [North West] remaining to a height of over 2' for a dis:
:tance of 5' or 6' and evidently existing
further beneath the debris. Though the
superstructure has been removed its foundation
is visible at the S. [South] 24' out from the wall of
the summit enclosure to which it seems
to have returned at this point.

Nether Hazelfield Fort
On the crest of a low broad backed
undulation overlooking the sea at
Rosscarrel Bay and with a fine prospect
to the Northward part the E [East] end of Ben Gairn
is a circular fort. formed of a
stony ramparts and an intervening
trench. The interior which is very accurately
circular measures about 165' in diameter.
