a slighter parallel mound on the N W. [North West]. This
last is carried across the trench of the fort, up the
scarp and along the crest of the rampart curving
inwards towards the position of the entrance as it approaches
the S E. [South East] end. The central mound of the three
terminates on the counterscarp of the trench, while
the third is continued along the N E. [North East] flank at the
base of the rampart almost entirely filling
the trench,which has probably been shallower on
this side and onward beyond the end of the
fort terminating with a right angled return
to the Westward. Immediately within the position
of the entrance there is traceable the end of which
has been destroyed by quarrying, and beyond
the trench on the S W. [South West] there is another rectangular
foundation and a ? triangular fold-like enclosure.
In front of the position of the entrance is a
hollow and there are several other
smaller depressions adjacent from which
stone appears to have been quarried.
From these constructions and excavations two
parallel mounds some [blank] ft. [Feet] apart trend away from the fort
in a Southerly direction. The hollows in
front of the position suggest an
