the summit of the hill with its longest axis N E [North East]
and S W. [South West] measuring on its plateau some 260 ft. [feet]
by 115 ft. [feet]. All round except towards the S W. [South West] it
is steeply scarped for a vertical height of some 20 ft. [feet]
giving on a somewhat irreular terrace with
an average breadth of 10 ft. [feet] to 12 ft. [feet] on the West
and 20 ft. [feet] on the East faced when it crosses
the slope at the N E [North East] end by a rampart some 4 to
6 ft [feet] high traceable also along the E. [East] side where
it has a (?) ramp to the base of the eminence
of some 6 ft [feet] to 8 ft [feet]. There is no apparent parapet mound. Towards the S W. [South West] end
the defences draw in to the end of the plateau
where there has evidently been an entrance
and in front of which is a large circular
hollow with a diameter of 44 ft. [feet] and a well-
-defined semi-circular terrace interposed
between it and the steeper slope to the S W. [South West]
Some 20 ft. [feet] below this terrace is a well.

Corrie Churchyard
At the N E [North East] angle of Corrie Churchyard outside
the railed enclosure, the burial place of the
Grahams of Dunnabie, is an upright slab
commemorating " Petter Graham in Barnsdel
who departed this life Oct. [October] 21st 1753. Aged 12 Years"
On the front is a figure of a man dressed in
a long skirted coat with deep cuffs holding in
his right hand a crown & in his left a sceptre.
