foundations of a small oblong structure the
back wall of which has been recessed into the rampart
significantly broadened behind it.
A low mound apparently of earth, some 5' broad
with a shallow trench some 8' wide on the N. [North] side
meets the outer edge of the enclosure on the N. [North]
and leaves it on the S E [South East] passing Southward along
the crest of the moorland . Under the name of the
"Deils Jingle" this bank is traceable as shown
on the O.S. [Ordnance Survey] map for about 3/4 m. [mile] to the N. [North] of
the enclosure and 1/4 m. [mile] to the S. [South] of it.

Enclosure Bank Head Hill
At the base of Bank Head Hill on the S.W. [South West] and
about 1/4 m. [mile] S S E. [South South East] of Castle Oer House is an
enclosure situated on a bluff formed by the
debouchement of a ravine on a bank that margins
the low lying ground streching to the Esk distant some
100 yds [yards] to the W. [West]. The enceinte is for the most
part occupied by a sheep pen and about
1/3 of the periphery has gone. The enclosure has
been oval measuring apparently about 170' by
130' and has been surrounded by a bank
formed of earth and stone some 20' wide at
base and from 5' to 6' high. The entrance
which has been from the N. [North] has been some
6' wide.
