roadway 8' wide which leads up an incline from
the N. [North] and is flanked by the natural slope of the
hillock on the E. [East] before it merges into the terrace
From the W. [West] near the middle of
the N. [North] side there is visible another roadway
leading up to the terrace, and some 30' to the
W. [West] of the point where it opens on to it, there is a

scarp from the summit.
A stony heap at the SW [South West] end of the summit may
be the remains of the rampart and stones cleared
from its site in cultivation.

This fort is situated at the N.E [North East] extremity of an area of rough hillocky ground
about 1/4 m [mile] E [East] of Castle Creavie farm at an
elevation of [blank] and about 1/4 m. [mile] SSE . [South South East] from
the last. The site is a rocky hillock rising
with a gradual inclination from the S W. [South West]

end of the hillock at the S W [South West] has been dug

carried along the W. [West] flank & seeming to terminate
where the ground becomes steeper below the highest
front of the hillock, while the rocky E. [East] flank
