consisting of a deep V shaped trench the scarps of
which are very sharply cut and smooth, varying
from 17' to 26' in width from crest to crest, and
from 6' to 8' in depth, with a mound above both
scarp and counterscarp some 20' wide broad
at base formed of earth and stones. This
vallum on the N W. [North West] passes immediately below
the rocky eminence and extends out at either
end some 60' and 130' beyond the rampart of the inner
enceinte. There is an opening through it 9' wide
on the S. [South] which may have been an entrance but it is
doubtful (Plan from O.S. [Ordnance Survey])

12 July 1912. A very hot day.
Stone Ring Saugh Hill Plantation Eskdalemuir (16)
In the meadow on the lower side of the Saugh
Hill Plantation near its N. [North] end the O.S. Map
marks a "stone ring". It is the faintly discernible
outline of a circular enclosure on level ground.
presenting no defensive characteristics nor is
it excavated as the interior. The remains are
probably those of an old pen. Between them
and the end of the wood are one or two
small hollows excavated on the S. [South] face of
a knoll which may possible be the site of dwellings.

Stone Rings (10) Hartmanor
At the upper end of a meadow on the E. [East] side
of the road to Eskdalemuir via the Shaw Rig
and about 1/4 m. [mile] N. [North] of the farm of Hartmanor.
