by a stone parapet 3' broad in rear of which
towards the E [East] end the top of the rampart forms
a level platform 6' wide some 18'' to 2' below
the present crest and 4' above the level of the
interior. The trench is 42' wide from crest to
crest and has a depth of from 11' to 12' below
the scarp and of 9' below the counterscarp,
the low mound above the latter has a breadth
of 12' at base and a height on the exterior of
about 3'. Along the N E. [North east] side facing the Esk
the rampart appears to have been returned
for some 40' and a hollow seems to mark
a place where it has been dug up; Beyond
this to the apex of the triangle there has been
a stone wall some 5' thick. On the very
point there are two depressions which probably
mark the site of huts. Along the flank
above the burn there are also indications
of walling. The entrance has been from
the bottom of the glen past the W. [West] end of
the rampart and to right and left of it
in the interior are small excavated hollows
which may be the site of guard huts.
A wet hole in the centre where lies some
detached masses of rock is probably a
secondary excavation. (See plan & ? photo)
