Traces of this rampart may be distinctly seen on the ground, running in a S.En [South Eastern[ direction and is said to have extended from Galashiels on the North to Peel Fell on boundary between Roxburgh and Cumberland Shires on the South - or at least to have traced from these two points. Numerous earth works characterized by local authorities as ancient British Forts are scattered over the district. The Site of a Druidical Circle has been shewn, the only indication on ground of the existence of which is the disturbed appearance of the spot. Various Towers and other structures have been shewn, neither historical nor other remarkable events being connected therewith, it can only be observed that their construction belong to the middle and feudal eras.
