054 | [Situation] On the northern side of the town of Dundee A very conspicuous & prominent hill rising immediately on the North side of the Town to the height of rather more than 500 feet above the level of the Tay. It is of a round or conical form, cultivated on every side to within 50 or 60 feet of the summit & unless it can be considered to be connected by the very low ridge of rising ground with Balgay & other hills to the Eastward it may be said to be isolated. On top of this hill are the traces of an intrenched Camp or fortified position supposed to be of very great Antiquity & the North side has been used for a district Station for the Trigonometrical Survey |
