The main entrance to the fort proper is from
the W. [West] at a point where the ground commences to
decline to the N. [North] and it is significant that there
does not appear to be a corresponding gap in
the outer mound. At the point of junction of
the two mounds on the N. [North] the main rampart
shows distinct signs of having been cut back.

Enclosure Shaw
In the angle of the burn to the N E. [North East] of the last
and about 1/4 m.[mile] N. [North] by E. [East] of Shaw is an oblong
enclosure lying with its longest axis N. [North] and S. [South]
four sided but not quite rectangular the sides
measuring respectively 76 ft. [feet] 122 ft. [feet] 60 ft. [feet] and 116 ft. [feet] .
In These are two entrance one in the N. [North] end and the
other in the W. [West]. In the S W. [South West] corner is a small
circular depression with a diameter of 10 ft. [feet]
possibly the site of a hut. The surrounding
bank of earth is some 12 ft. [feet] broad at base and
from 3'.6” to 4 ft. [feet] in height. A slight trench like
hollow in front on the N. [North] & E. [East] side is probably
due to excavation of material. This is
no doubt an ancient sheep fold and the
modern pens lie adjacent to it.
