Parish of Sanquhar -- Plan 6. 10,

[Various modes:]
Old Fort
(contd.) [continued]

[Descriptive Remarks:]
"Celtic fortifications will re-
-cognise them at once, and with un-
-deviating accuracy; for just as he
would know a Roman Camp by
its square form, so he knows the
Celtic by its round trench. The
ring round the knoll is now much
effaced, owing to the frequent plough-
-ing and harrowing of the field,
and will, no doubt, in process
of time become utterly obliterated."
