| FORT [The Knock] | Fort Fort Fort |
John Boyd Esq Largs James Crawford Harplaw Mr Thomas Carter Brisbane |
003 | Around the summit of "The Knock" there is a green circular bank or mound of earth etc Supposed to have been a Fort, in general it is about 3 feet high on the inside or side nearest the Hill top but on the outside it is greater, and in some places is pretty steep and slopes for a short distance down the Hill. A tradition exists in the neighbourhood respecting it; but it is thus mentioned in the Old Stat Acct [Statistical Account] "On the Top of Knock Hill is the vestige of a small Camp with three regular entrenchments". It is also mentioned in the "Beauties of Scotland". "A mountain rising to a considerable height in the shape of a Cone and green to the top where there is still a vestige of some work of ancient times. Perhaps it might have served for a watch tower" |

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.
