through the outer mound into the trench and
the entrance to the interior has been
either directly up the hollow, below which there appears
indication of flanking walls, or else by the
opening along the trench and thence into the
hollow. On the face of the hillock overlooking
the section of the trench between the opening
and the hollow there lies a mass of stones.
There appears to gave been a parapet
mound around the summit. Dr [Doctor]
Christison noted in 1891 that a break in
the rampart towards the Evan showed
carefully built masonry of small stones
without mortar. Note - This
fort appears to be very similar in character
to Range castle Hill fort in the Hutton & Corrie
which had a similar trench along the
base of the eminence.

Small Cairns Coats Hill. (Unnoted)
On a shoulder of Coats Hill on the South
flank about 1/4 m. [mile] South West of the summit
and at an elevation of some 550 ft [feet] or thereby
is a group of small cairns about five
in number measuring in diameter from
12ft. [feet] to 18ft. [feet] As the hill rises others
are observable among the brackens.
