Castle Craig, Tillicoultry NS 911 976 NS99NW 5
This promontory fort has been destroyed by quarrying. It comprised: (A) a circular enclosure measuring 25 m in diameter within a stone wall 3.7 m thick, with an entrance on the S; abutting onto the inner face of the wall there were the ruins of several apparently secondary stone-walled structures, in one of which a sherd of medieval pottery was found in an unstratified position; (B) some 12m outside the enclosure, a deep rock-cut ditch, accompanied by a stone wall on its inner lip and a stony rampart on its outer lip, cutting off access from the vulnerable NW quarter; a broad gap on the SW may originally have contained an entrance. In the absence of excavation the relationship of A to B was never established.
