008 | A circular space across the Threepwood road, barely traceable, the South Side is Slightly raised and on the north side there is about a foot of an inward slope Similar to (nearly defaced) Roman or British camps- There are no stones such as actually form Druidical circles but the authorities I have quoted except Mr. Dobie say that it is a tradition in the neighbourhood that it is the remains of a Druidical circle-Mr. Dobie is the writer of the [artic]le on Beith in the New Stat. Acct. [Statistical Account] and he referred me to it for his opinion. This is the notice he takes of it in the work referred to. [At the] bottom of the hill, north of the rocking-stone there are the remains of a circular trench and of some building. The place is called "Kirklie Green" [There] are no remains of a building at the present, and no one in the neighbourhood remembers to have seen any, the object he refers to is not [and] I think never could have been a Trench. It has the appearance of the remains of a Roman or British Camp (this is but my own opinion I have written the name according to the best authorities I could get.) M.

Ordnance Survey was established in the 18th century to create maps, surveys and associated records for the entirety of Great Britain. These records are arranged by county. This entry has been created to enable searching for Ordnance Survey records for the county of Ayr, which is in the south west of Scotland. The boundaries of the county were altered by the Boundary Commissioners in 1891.
