OLD FORT (Remains of) [Kirk Hill] | 050 | A single Rampart and ditch are all that remain of this "hill fort" having a diameter of about 150 feet. | ||
TUMULUS [Kirk Hill] | 050 | The interior tumulus rises about 20 feet above the level of the rampart, ( which is about 3 feet high) in a mound or mash like form terminating in a flat level top of about 30 feet in diameter. On this top the inhabitants point out several oblong mounds which tradition says are the graves of some of their heroes, which must be purely supposition, and very improbable also, for at the present time there are not more than six inches of earth covering a hard reddish coloured sandstone, which appears to form the principal surface rock for the entire hill. _ Rock not [stratified ?] |
