depressions between two rocky ridges that run
divergently from the direction of the summit; the
second for a short distance is in the line of
the fence and thereafter runs parallel to it
some 8' or 10' distant & below it, while the third
continues parallel some 20' further out.
After crossing the stone dyke which runs
up the hill from the termination of the
wire fence the outer lines gradual converge
so they approach the E [East] & rocky face of the hill
while the upper line of terrace formation appears to open onto the hollow
as it slopes down to the S. [South]. Within the
defences the measurements are approximately
500' from N [North] to S. [South] by 360' from E. [East] to W. [West]. Below
the summit and between it and the com:
:mencement of the first terrace on the N. [North]
is a circular depression some 46' in
diameter which has a somewhat artificial
appearance. There are no definite remains
of constructions on the plateau or summit
though the various ridges of rock which
rundown from the latter have in places
the appearance of ramparts and a mound
across the lower end of the plateau might
prove on excavation to be less natural
than it seems on the surface. The
