A large mound, which appears to overly the fort wall (NT57SE 1), is situated on the N flank of the Law, about 20m W of the quarry fence and 195m NE of the summit. It measures about 18m from N to S by 23m transversely and is about 4m in height. When it was surveyed by RCAHMS in 1955 it was noted as a ‘quarry tip of top soil and sods from farther [east]’ (DP250018). This is still the preferred explanation.
