is exposed on the lower slope of the
scarp above it. As it approaches both ends of
the hillock it rises in elevation
to cross the crest. There the slight
mound which bounded it as it passed along the flank is in :
: creased to a formidable rampart while
at the WSW. [West South West] extremity it is further defended
by an outer segmental mound some 20' in
width at base with an intervening hollow some
10' across. The ramparts are stony and
appear to be formed of the rock excavated in
digging the terraces or trenches. Near the
centre of the W. [West] side of the enceinte is an
entrance leading across the terrace
& by an easier slope
on the scarp to the summit.

Barend Fort ( S [Site])
On the W. [West] bank of the Abbey Burn & about ¼
m. [mile] N. [North] of Low Barend rises a rocky irregular
hillock on the top of which are very fragmentary

towards the W. [West] for a distance of some 60'.
